“How is archaeology helpful in understanding our past? Archaeologists dig old things and tell us about the past.”

Partly correct. You've understood that archaeologists dig and discover things that help us learn about the past. What's missing: they uncover specific clues and reconstruct how people lived… Better answer: “Archaeologists uncover tools, fossils, and other objects left by early humans. By studying these finds and experimenting with similar tools, they can reconstruct how people lived, what they ate, and their beliefs—especially for the time before writing was invented.”

“Sentila's mother Arenla wanted her to become a potter like her. Is that right?”

Wrong. Let me correct that. Arenla wanted Sentila to learn weaving instead of pot making… Sentila dreamed of becoming a pot maker like her mother and grandmother… So it's the opposite of what you said. Does this make sense now? 😊
