Question #5
In ancient Tahiti, archery, or skill with a bow and arrows, was considered a sacred sport and practiced primarily by people of high social status. Therefore, people of high social status would have been highly valued during wartime for their archery abilities.
Which of the following most seriously weakens the argument presented?
(A) People of high social status comprised a smaller proportion of Tahitian fighting forces than people of lower social status.
(B) In ancient Tahiti, bows and arrows were used for hunting and ceremonial purposes, but never as weapons of war.
(C) Archery ceremonies sometimes lasted for several days, leaving their participants physically drained.
(D) On some occasions, a person of low social status would achieve a high level of skill in archery.
(E) Ancient Tahiti was a relatively peaceful and isolated society, and only rarely did wars break out.
