Archaeologists have long known that burrowing creatures are capable of disrupting the items in
archaeological dig sites. Ants, worms, and rodents can all disturb such sites, but the damage they cause
pales in comparison to the mayhem caused by armadillos. A recent study showed that when they burrow,
armadillos displace archaeological material not just horizontally but also vertically, pushing recent items
deep into the soil while kicking older artifacts up to the surface. The mess made by these industrious
diggers can throw off the timelines of digs by hundreds, if not thousands of years.
Question
Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
Archaeologists consider the location of items when determining a timeline.
Armadillos burrow primarily in areas where archaeologists are digging.
Burrowing creatures are less of a problem for archaeologists today than they once were.
The damage caused by ants, worms, and rodents also affects archaeologists' timelines.

Statement that can be inferred from the passage is that

Archaeologists consider the location of items when determining a timeline

Explanation:

Archaeologists use the position of the object in the soil and its depth to determine how far back in time it goes.

This is because of sedimentation and depositing of new land over the old one which pushes the older things down the soil while the comparatively new artifacts are found over them.

The passage talks about how armadillos borrow recklessly and move the artifacts from their original position and wrecking the timeline of things as they should be.

being ignored by someone and then accepting the fact was really tough

the illustration   that would give a reader a clear understanding of the text is a picture of men constructing the frame of a building.the frame is made of iron bars. the text describes the job of blacksmiths'. these were very organised and they had different names: "the driver" and "the heater". the text describes the way in which these men worked ; they worked iron pieces as if they were playing a sport. in fact, the text wants to show the men's skills. the text also puts some emphasis on the use of '' rivets'' in construction. this kind of nails were not always used in the construction of manhattan.

some examples:

"and with an underhand toss he hurled the smoking rivet straight at the catcher, who caught it in mid-air in his catching can." men's skills

"when the driver was ready for a new " the emphasis on the rivet ( special nail used in construction).

" it against a beam to remove any cinders, and jammed it into the waiting hole. " the emphasis on the rivet.
