Hello @filozinni,

Answer choice D is appealing because it does contain most of the important elements from the passage. Textile production by women, changes in archaeology, replicating techniques, etc. However, make sure that you pay attention to the operative verb, "spurred." Did research into textiles cause the changes in archaeology? There is nothing to support that.

The improvements in archaeology are introduced at the start of the second paragraph, and the author never says this was a result of textile study. When an answer choice includes a cause and effect relationship, make sure that it is supported by the text.
