Question 1 of 10
Logical Reasoning
The historian's statements, if true, most strongly support which one of the following?
Historian: Merchants' account books from the port city of Vessa survive in large numbers for the years 1610 to 1640 but are almost entirely absent for 1640 to 1670. Yet the city's tax records show roughly the same volume of trade passing through Vessa in both periods. Between 1640 and 1700, the city's archive was moved twice, and in 1702 a fire destroyed part of the collection stored on the archive's lower floor.
