This question plays off your presumption that once the nomads crossed the Bering land bridge into America, they didn't go back. Because why would anyone who made it to America want to go back to the god forsaken land of Siberia? No, thank you.

But of course, this was tens of thousands of years ago. Who knows. Maybe Siberia was awesome and they went back and forth for generations while the bridge was still around.

If that were the case, then the Clovis point could easily have been invented in America, carried with the nomads back over into Siberia, deposited and buried there for us to find thousands of years later.

If that's what happened, then finding a cache of Clovis points in Siberia doesn't suggest that it was invented in Siberia.

Of course, (A) also doesn't prove that it was invented in Siberia either. (A) in conjunction with the premise in the stimulus just makes it more likely that it was invented in Siberia.

That's all we're being asked to do in a Strengthen question.
