Choose the number that corresponds to the correct answer based on the given
selections.

For Questions 91–99

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news.
Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly
anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered
in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes
showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting
animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably,
horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other
animals. Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult
task. THEY did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their
painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow
passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the
destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images
away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also
damaged the images inside. Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light
would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are
barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963,
23 years after it was discovered.
