Question

What did the animist villages resisted?

• A. Introduction of Christianity through missionaries.
• B. Slash-and-burn practice
• C. Getting voices tape - recorded by the researcher.
• D. Conducting rehearsals

Hint:

Look for the line about animist villages and missionaries.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand the question:
We must find what the animist villages pushed back against, according to the passage.

Step 2: Find the clue:
The author describes a time when villages that followed animist beliefs resisted the arrival of a religion brought by foreign preachers. The passage says this in the list of features of the old world.

Step 3: Check option (1):
The introduction of Christianity through missionaries is exactly what the passage says was resisted. So option (1) is correct.

Step 4: Check option (2):
Slash and burn is described as a universal farming practice, not as something resisted. So option (2) is wrong.

Step 5: Check option (3):
The tape recording was done by the researcher. The villagers took part willingly and even signalled when to start. So option (3) is wrong.

Step 6: Check option (4):
Rehearsals were something the villagers did on their own before the recording. They were not resisted. So option (4) is wrong.

Final Answer:
Animist villages resisted the introduction of missionary Christianity, so option 1 is correct.\[ \boxed{1} \]
