Rolling the Stones to Build Stonehenge

Paragraph C suggests that the theory proposed by an expert...

• was repeated

• was questioned

• was implemented initially

• was proven

• was simulatively tested

Was the initial experiment of rolling heavy objects across the wooden tracks satisfying?

• Yes, it proved that this method was practical

• Yes, this method was probably similar with the past

• No, this method failed to move heavy objects

• No, this method had not been tested to move even larger objects

• No, this method was no compatible with the ancient times

What material the neolithic people around Stonehenge used for the construction?

• Stone

• Wood

• Metal

• Cement

• Bluestone

Mark Whitby argued that the wooden track cannot move a sarsen because

• The timber rail was not strong enough

• The trough has a problem with its shape

• There were more lighter stones

• The sarsen was another type of stone

• The wooden track could sustain 30-40 tons

Bruce Bradley did his part in simulated experiment after realizing that...

• Whitby's argument made sense

• Young had better theory

• No previous scientists had progressed

• Whitby's argument was not conclusive

• Neolithic people were way smarter than modern people

What did Bruce Bradley do in his latest experiment?

• He proposed the idea of making ball-based track

• He argued that wood was the materials used by the Neolithic people

• He proved that Whitby's theory was wrong

• He tested the larger wooden tracks with four-ton bluestones

• He built a life size model of wooden track

What does the paragraph F contain?

• The answer of the doubt

• The contra theory and its reason

• The testing of the theory

• The experiment on a larger scale

• The introduction of the topic

What is the newest idea proposed by the engineering experts?

• The various combinations of variables are needed to calculate the loads

• Hard wood and U-shaped grooves are better than cured oak

• Transporting stones across huge distances can be done with the help of animals

• Experiment with more durable materials such as stone balls and a team of oxen

• Collaborate with the previous researchers

A collaborative plan with experts from different fields is clearly stated in the

• Beginning of the text

• Two last paragraphs

• Closing paragraph

• The title of the text

• Middle of the discussion in the text

Why is Young's idea important in the study of how Stonehenge was built?

• It proves that his overall theory was correct

• It emphasize the starting point of the study

• It has a fundamental principle of the modern construction method

• It serves as the improvement of the previous idea

• It contradicts to the later ideas proposed by the other scientists
