2. B.
PART B: Which two details from the text best support the answer to Part A?
A. "The businesses in this area, known as the Roman Forum, looked very much like
those in any city today. Stores and offices were located at street level in small
rooms called tabernae in Latin." (Paragraph 1)
"The Romans did worship their gods in these temples, but the variety of shops
located in the 25 or 30 tabernae in any big temple must have looked much like a
modern mall." (Paragraph 2)
C. "Recovered broken pots and plates suggest that a restaurant occupied one
shop. A find of small coins from different countries most likely is evidence of a
moneychanger's office." (Paragraph 3)
D. "More important, each had one or more very large holes caused by decay
(cavities). Since there were a lot of these teeth, the shop was probably used as a
dentist's office." (Paragraph 4)
"Since the ancient Romans had no method for drilling and filling teeth, the only
'cure' was to pull the tooth, and this they did well." (Paragraph 5)
F. "All the teeth found in the drain had been pulled without breaking off any part
of the root. Passages in ancient medical texts tell us that the Romans knew
leaving a broken root in the jaw could lead to infection and the patient's death."
(Paragraph 6)
