Answer 1

The correct response is: The greater amount of remains and ruins belonging to ancient societies help piece together the function and meaning of the art.

Ancient art is often better understood because there is more archaeological evidence, including written records, structures, and artifacts, which provide context for the art and its significance in society. In contrast, much of prehistoric art lacks such context, making its interpretation more challenging.
