Are you sure E or C or any other answer makes sense? because they do nothing to resolve the paradox. What is the paradox exactly? - That skeletal remains of several species of animals existing during a span of 2000yrs bear extreme heat signs, that don't make sense in the cold region of N. Canada.

IMO A A is only a part assumption. Also, the author states that the Michelangelo abandoned the paint in 1509. So if we negate A and state that stocks of the pigment existed after 1509, the author could still point out that Michelangelo abandoned it for a cheaper paint. On the other hand option (b) ...

Just to add to the discussion the following two sentences are different in that 1 has a verb modifier and 2 has a noun modifier. Let me try and explain - 1) John left the building, excited that he had just aced the GMAT - "Excited.." is a verb that is modifying the verb "left" in...
