hard · LSAT Logical Reasoning

Excavators at an inland settlement found amphora fragments whose clay inclusions match a kiln district only twenty kilometers away. Several fragments retain a pine-resin lining chemically characteristic of a distant coastal region, and absorbed residues indicate that the vessels last held wine. Records from a later period show that merchants sometimes shipped resin in bulk to inland workshops and that amphorae were often relined between uses. No workshop from the settlement's period has yet been found nearby, but only a small portion of the kiln district has been surveyed.

The statements above most strongly support which one of the following?

  1. The matching clay inclusions uniquely establish that the amphorae were made in the nearby kiln district.
  2. The wine in the vessels must have been produced in the same coastal region as the resin.
  3. The absence of an excavated local workshop proves that the clay was transported to the coast for manufacture.
  4. Every amphora lined with coastal resin was used only once.
  5. The vessels could have been made locally and lined or relined with imported coastal resin.
