Q20

The answer is B, but I don't seem to be able to find evidence for it in the passage. In the third paragraph it mentions that speeches are often delivered in English, but does not mention language of other tribes. I actually chose C, because of the last sentence of the first paragraph. Is C wrong because it is describing a possible cause of the phenomenon rather the the phenomenon of intertribalism itself?

Thank you!

Oh, I'm so sorry, but I think you're looking at this question in a way that complicates the issue much more than the test-writer intended. You need to find an answer choice that is an example of inter-tribalism. For that, you simply need an answer choice that has more than one tribe. Answer choices (A), (C), (D), and (E) involve only one tribe.

Answer choice (B) though has multiple tribes and so is an example of inter-tribalism.

Does that help clear this one up?

What about option (C) in response to the information at line 14-16?

"..., their increasing politicization in response to common grievances as the chief cause of the shift toward intertribalism."

"..., their increasing politicization in response to common grievances as the chief cause of the shift toward intertribalism."

I believe those are separate issues Pin theory accounts for. First of all, what's the main conclusion of Pin theory? -- NA loses their ID and eventually assimilating into white ppl culture. Why? (premises) cuz the increasing intertribal activities such as greater frequency of travel and communication between tribes, along with other collaborating phenomenons such as the greater urbanization and politicization stuff.

I know the passage didn't explicitly say that but it's implied, for urbanization and political involvement are direct white ppl culture stuff, have nothing to do with "intertribal activities" which by definition involves more than just one party among tribes themselves.
