Hello,
Doing a gap-fill exercise and checking my answers with the key, I found out I got one wrong but I fail to understand why. Could somebody please take the trouble to tell me what is wrong with it?
During the Stone Age or Mesolithic Period men and women led an active social and spiritual life. Large encampments, where up to 200 people may have lived, have recently come to light in several parts of Europe, in addition to the remains of communal tombs and temples. Making stone tools would probably have been regarded as a communal activity, in which even children used to participate.
My answer was 'could'. Is it wrong just because the word 'probably' already indicates probability, and the usage of 'could' would create redundancy? :-?
Thank you.
