Correct Option: 1
- Option 1 is correct as it logically concludes the narrative by highlighting the potential breakthrough in decoding the Indus Valley script, directly related to the hope of finding combined texts.
- Option 2 is misleading because the discovery of texts would not necessarily determine the age of the civilizations.
- Option 3 although potentially true, is too broad and speculative given the specific focus on deciphering the script.
- Option 4 introduces a new idea of proving trade which, while interesting, does not directly follow from the preceding focus on deciphering the script.
