Set 5: Inferences

Explanation

Answer: B

PASSAGE

The Terracotta Army, discovered in 1974, consists of over 8,000 life-sized clay soldiers built to guard the tomb of China's first emperor. Each figure has unique facial features, suggesting that individual sculptors may have modeled them after real people.

What does the passage imply about the creation of the Terracotta Army?

A. It was a mass-production process with identical figures.
B. Each soldier was individually crafted with personal details.✓ Correct
C. The soldiers were created quickly without attention to detail.
D. Only a few sculptors were involved in the project.

Detailed Explanation

'Unique facial features' and perhaps modeled 'after real people' = individual craftsmanship.

Key Evidence:

• "each figure has unique facial features"

• "modeled after real people"

Why others are wrong: A ('Unique features' contradicts identical.), C (Unique faces show attention to detail.), D (8,000 unique figures suggest many sculptors.).
