Each of the paragraphs given below has a sentence missing which is indicated by a blank. From the choices given below each paragraph, choose the sentence that seems most logically appropriate to complete the paragraph.
The people of the Indus Valley civilization wrote with a script. So far scholars have been unable to decipher that script. Archaeologists who have been excavating newly discovered sites in Mesopotamia hope to find a text that has scripts from both the Indus valley and Mesopotamia, the second of which has already been deciphered._______
Solution
The paragraph discusses the Indus Valley script, which is said to be undeciphered so far. It then discusses the Mesopotamian script, which is said to be decoded. The passage suggests that the Mesopotamian script will help decipher the Indus Valley script if archaeologists find a text with scripts from both civilisations. We can thus infer that 'archaeologists will then be able to decode the Indus Valley script', and option A should be the correct conclusion.
