Question

求帮忙解析一下这道题目。

According to paragraph 1, the name of the earliest form of writing reflects the fact that this writing was
A. inscribed on damp materials.
B. preserved by accidental firing.
C. made with a wedge-shaped stick.
D. Kept in libraries and word-hoards.

定位句是 They were written on damp clay tablets with a wedged (or V-shaped) stick; since the Latin word for wedge is cunea, the texts are called cuneiform. 答案是选 C. 请问 选项 A 错在哪里？

Answer 1

根据定位句，这种文字之所以命名为“楔形文”(cuneiform)，是因为它是用楔子(wedge, 拉丁语是cunea) 在湿黏土板上刻写出来的。
那么问题：最早的文字形式的名称反映了该文字的何种事实？- 自然是反映了其书写工具“楔形棍棒”（C选项），而非刻写于“潮湿材料”（A选项）。
