1) Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been made only by the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a 'Palean' basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no Palean boats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

This argument holds the point that the palean baskets were not uniquely palean by referring to an recent archaeology discovery that such a Palean basket has been found in Lithos also. But there are  some evidences needed to evaluate the argument.

Firstly, the argument mentions there is a Brim River between Palea and Lithos, and now it is very deep and broad, so it is unlikely for the people of these two villages to communicate with and reach each other. The evidence is needed to show that this river was also deep and broad in the time of prehistory when the Palean basket were made and prevailed. It is possible that this river was shallow and narrow or even didn't exist in the prehistorical time and it came into exist and became much deeper and broader due to the geographical changes happened within the long history. If so, people of these two villages can communicate and it is possible to say the Palean baskets found in the Lithos came from the Palean village. So it is reasonable to find the Palean basket in Lithos even though this basket is uniquely Palean.

Secondly, it is mentioned that there are no Palean boats have been found. The evidence is needed to show that there are also no boats from the village of Lithos. It is possible to say the Lithos people are good at manufacturing boats at that time and the boats they manufactured can safely cross the river between the two villages and hence they can get the Palean baskets from Palea. So it is possible to find the Palean baskets in Lithos even if this basket is uniquely Palean.

Thirdly, this argument preclude the possibility that the Palean baskets can be transferred to other nearby villages which are easy to reach for both Palea and Lithos. The evidence is needed to show that the only routine from Palea to Lithos is crossing the river. Otherwise, this Palean baskets can be taken by people via other villages. So it is possible to find the Palean baskets in Lithos despite this basket is uniquely Palean.

In conclusion, this argument appears to be logical  by raising a recent discovery and some reasoning, but there are several flaw within the process of the reasoning, further evidences required to be shown to make this argument sound.

楼主可以对比一下我写的https://bbs.gter.net/forum.php?mo ... ge=16#pid1779367557
有什么具体问题可以提出来
argument最好能按照这个格式来注明每段话回应的具体内容

请查看我的博客 103楼-https://bbs.gter.net/forum.php?mo ... age=7#pid1778984899 学习argument写作的1+3模型  

粗略看了一下
好像写得挺好 至少语言表达还可以
最后用到flaws这个词还是老G的思维
注意新G不是要你攻击、驳斥原argument，而是要根据题目要求来讨论在什么情况下argument可能成立或不成立
