Question
Which of the following is most similar to the actions of nineteenth-century ethnologists in their editing of the life stories of Native Americans?
Options:
A .  A witness in a jury trial invokes the Fifth Amendment in order to avoid relating personally incriminating evidence.
B .  A stockbroker refuses to divulge the source of her information on the possible future increase in a stock's value.
C .  A sports announcer describes the action in a team sport with which he is unfamiliar.
D .  A chef purposely excludes the special ingredient from the recipe of his prizewinning dessert.
Answer: Option C
:
C
This is a hypothetical question. The author has stated in the third paragraph that “Editors often decided what elements were significant to the field research on a given tribe. Native Americans recognized that the essence of their lives could not be communicated in English and that events that they thought significant were often deemed unimportant by their interviewers”. From this, we can understand that the author is trying to present a situation wherein a person doing a particular act is not really familiar to the act himself/herself. Option (c) very well reflects such a situation by talking about a sports announcer describing the action in a team sport with which he is unfamiliar. Therefore, answer option (c) is the correct answer choice.
