A56: Collectors prize the ancient life-size clay statues of human figures made on Kali Island but have long wondered how the Kalinese artists were able to depict bodies with such realistic precision. Since archeologists have recently discovered molds of human heads and hands on Kali, we can now conclude that the ancient Kalinese artists used molds of actual bodies, not sculpting tools and techniques, to create these statues. This discovery explains why Kalinese miniature statues were abstract and entirely different in style: molds could only be used for life-size sculptures. It also explains why few ancient Kalinese sculpting tools have been found. In light of this development, collectors should expect the life-size sculptures to decrease in value and the miniatures to increase in value.

The author of this argument explain the way how the Kalinese artists decipe bodies with realistic precision, based on some assumption through the newly found molds of human heads and hands and sequently even predicts that there's a decrease in life-size sculptures' value while an increase in miniatures' value, mistakenly. So, I will state these fallacies infra.

Firstly, the author ignores other applications of the molds of human heads and hands other than to apply in sculpture. It is highly possible that these molds are only to be compared, when the sculpture has been done, to see how relative in sculpture teaching. Also maybe these molds are used to in theology as to be sacrificed as a whole body molds but only the heads and the hands discovered. So, maybe the ancient life-size sculptures are made by tools not by the molds, as the tools will be discovered later. Without ruling out these explanations for the models application, the author could not base the argument on assumption.

Secondly, the author make an assumed cause-effect relationship between the molds and the sculptures as asserting that this discovery explains why Kalinese miniature statues were abstract and entirely different in style. As we are lack of information whether the molds are in a large amount and with different style or not, we could not explain that whether it is only the miniature status were different in style. And if the molds are abstract, the sculptures could be abstract too, which the author has no evidence to refute. Moreover, the reason the author provide to explain the diversity between the two is also fallacy, as molds if smaller ones, could be used in sculpture too.

Finally, based on the incorrect assumption above, the author made an adventurous prediction, that is, collectors may prefer miniatures to life-size sculptures, which could be pulled down in a careful observation. Maybe the reason why collectors prize these sculptures are their singularity, which the life-size remains much far-between to the miniatures. Furthermore, maybe it is due to this discovery, people are interested in the molds which identified as the way to create the sculpture, and the value of the life-size ones will increase in sequence. As the factors infected to the value of sculpture are complex, the author could not conclude merely on the fact of this development.

To summarize, as stating above, this argument base on assumption and lack of dare evidence, which unconvincing. To bolster the argument, the author should provide more information about the two sculptures, such as their diversity and more information about the molds to improve the argument.

The author of this argument(可以去掉) explain the way how the Kalinese artists decipe bodies with realistic precision, based on some assumption through the newly found molds of human heads and hands and sequently even predicts that there's a decrease in life-size sculptures' value while an increase in miniatures' value, mistakenly（用的很突然）. So, I will state these fallacies infra.（需要更流畅一些）

你在第一段举出了一个很重要的fallacy（题目原文最后一句），但是后面没有批
其他的还是很不错的

加油，共勉！

To summarize, as stating above, this argument base on assumption and lack of dare evidence, which unconvincing.这最好具体的说一下需要证明什么 To bolster the argument, the author should provide more information about the two sculptures, such as their diversity and more information about the molds to improve the argument.
