A hoard of coins recently unearthed at an ancient Carthagian site bear an image of a face in profile with what appears to be a large mole on the cheek. Pointing out that an artist would be unlikely to include such a specific detail in a generalized portrayal of a face, some archaeologists have concluded that these coins portray an actual individual rather than an idealized type. However, this conclusion is unwarranted, since ______.
Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
archaeologists cannot determine the actual identity of the individual portrayed just from the likeness that appears on the coins
it cannot be established with certainty that Carthagian artists were on the whole less skillful at portraying human face than artists of other cultures
none of the other designs of Carthagian coins that have been discovered features a face with a mole on it
in ancient times it was quite common for the money circulated in a city or country to include coins that originated in other jurisdictions.
the relatively soft metal used for Carthagian coin molds sometimes resulted in the production of series of coins with unintended bumps
