Researchers have found a nearly 164,000 year-old molar from a member of the archaic human species known as Denisovans in a cave in Laos, suggesting that Denisovans lived in a wider range of environments than indicated by earlier evidence Before the discovery.Denisovans were thought to have lived only at high altitudes in relatively cold climates in what are now Russia and China, but the discovery of the tooth in Laos suggests that they may have lived at low altitudes in relatively warm climates in Southeast Asia as well. Which choice best states the function of the underlined portion in the text as a whole? Choose 1 answer: A It defines a term used in the description that follows in the rest of the sentence. B It emphasizes the main goal of the research introduced in the previous sentence. C It provides context that clarifies the significance of the information that follows in the rest of the sentence. D It dismisses as untrue the research presented in the previous

Explicação

## Step 1<br />The problem is a reading comprehension question that tests the ability to understand the function of a specific part of a text. The underlined portion of the text is "suggesting that Denisovans lived in a wider range of environments than indicated by earlier evidence."<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The underlined portion provides context that clarifies the significance of the information that follows in the rest of the sentence. It explains why the discovery of the tooth in Laos is significant, which is that it suggests that Denisovans lived in a wider range of environments than previously thought.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The underlined portion does not define a term used in the description that follows in the rest of the sentence (Option A), nor does it emphasize the main goal of the research introduced in the previous sentence (Option B). It also does not dismiss as untrue the research presented in the previous sentence (Option D).
