I am facing a lot of issues in this passage. I am unable to understand the passage itself or define the function of each sentence, even when reading it with all the time in the world.
Please help on how to break the sentence.
Try rephrasing every sentence, and we can give you feedback
Brackets have the function
Sentence 1 → SL is known for stone statues and figures (Fact 1)
Sentence 2 → Archaeologists disagree about the reasoning regarding ceramics found at farther places (Counter view)
Sentence 3 → Mother-culture thinks that social org lead to spread of ceramics in simple societies (Supporting fact 1)
Sentence 4 → Sister-culture believes that it is just religious believe and contacts grew over time leading to spread of ceramics. (Supporting counter view)
Sentence 5 → Olmec weren’t leading the creation or spread of advanced cultures (conclusion, author’s view point, Main Idea).
Please provide feedback on the simplification.
I am still confused between Mesoamerican Olmec culture. Are they same? are they different?
I would say sentence 3, 4 and 5 you might need to think again
