The question on a passage or a set of conditions.Select the best answer from the answer choices numbered (A), (B), (C) and (D) given.
Some anthropologists study modern-day societies of foragers in an effort to learn about ancestors who were also foragers. A flaw in this strategy is that forager societies are extremely varied. Indeed, any forager society with which anthropologists are familiar has had considerable contact with modern, non-forager societies.
Q. Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the criticism made above of the anthropologists’ strategy?
  • a)
    Even those modern-day forager societies that have not had significant contact with modern societies are importantly different from ancient forager societies.
  • b)
    All anthropologists study one kind or another of modern-day society
  • c)
    All forager societies throughout history have had a number of important features in common that are absent from other types of societies.
  • d)
    Most ancient forager societies either dissolved or made a transition to another way of life.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

The question on a passage or a set of conditions.Select the best answe...
As per option C, many ancient and modern foragers follow the same customs.
So even if the modern foragers are in contact with other modern societies, the anthropologists would be able to study the ancient foragers based on the customs followed by modern foragers (as the customs are the same).
This weakens the criticism about anthropologist's strategy that was pointed out in the passage.

Similar CLAT Doubts

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.The Forest Conservation Act of 1980, which the new Bill aims to amend, admittedly and justifiably adopted a rather protectionist stance which made forest clearances time-consuming and costly to obtain. While current development needs and priorities must be recognized, this Bill deviates in a significant manner from the spirit of the original law. Three points that emerge from the Bill have caused considerable consternation among environmental experts: the narrowed definition of forests under its scope; the exclusion of significant tracts of forest areas; and the granting of sanction to additional activities that were regulated earlier. These need to be better explained.The Bill will significantly restrict the application of the landmark Godavarman judgment of 1996 which had extended the scope of the 1980 Act to the dictionary meaning of ‘forest’ — that is, areas with trees rather than just areas legally notified as forest. The present Amendment restricts the Forest Conservation Act to only legally notified forests and forests recorded in government records on or after October 25, 1980. This change could potentially impact around 28% of India’s forest cover, encompassing almost 2,00,000 square kilometres. While these forests include fruit orchards and plantations, they also encompass forests of exceptional quality and conservation value. An instance is a category of Unclassed Forests in Nagaland, that have so far not been officially recorded or deemed forests despite centuries of protection and use by autonomous clans. Perversely, States that have refused to identify important forest areas despite the Godavarman judgment, may now be free to allow the destruction of these forests for construction and development. For the same reason, large swathes of the Aravalli Hills in the Delhi National Capital Region which are considered ecologically significant, apart from being critical to the water security of this region, may be affected by the amendment. Second, the Bill excludes some of India’s most fragile ecosystems as it removes the need for forest clearances for security related infrastructure up to 100 km of the international borders. These include globally recognized biodiversity hotspots such as the forests of northeastern India and high-altitude Himalayan forests and meadows. Third, the Bill introduces exemptions for construction projects such as zoos, safari parks, and ecotourism facilities. Artificially created green areas and animal enclosures are very different from natural ecosystems which provide a bouquet of ecosystem services that contribute significantly to human wellbeing. What is worrying is that the Bill also grants unrestricted powers to the Union government to specify ‘any desired use’ beyond those specified in the original or amended Act. Such provisions raise legitimate concerns about the potential exploitation of forest resources without adequate environmental scrutiny.Q.Which of the following statements best summarizes the passages major point, according to the text?

Directions: Read the passage and answer the question that follows.A condition is essentially the basis for a contract. It provides for the obligations of each party in an agreement. The simplest way to think of a condition in contract law is found in the terms 'If …then'. 'If' one party fulfils an obligation as contained in the agreement, 'then' the other party to the agreement must fulfil their obligation to that party. If the goods do not correspond with the description but such goods are fit for buyer's purpose, even then the buyer may reject the goods and the seller cannot take the defence by saying that the goods will serve the buyer's purpose.There are two types of conditions that can be found in a contract; Expressed or Implied Conditions. Expressed Conditions are conditions that have been clearly described and agreed upon by both parties to an agreement. If obligations laid forth in an expressed condition are not met, a breach of contract can be determined with liability assessed and damages awarded. Implied Conditions are conditions that are assumed to be accepted by both parties regarding their obligations. These may include conditions that ownership is not in question, the goods are not damaged, or that it is not necessary to provide detailed descriptions of the goods being sold beyond its name.A warranty is a term in a contract that is more like a promise by one party than a condition agreed upon by both parties. In warranty the buyer should have and enjoy quiet possession of the goods after having the possession of the goods. A major difference is that if a party fails to live up to a warranty, the aggrieved party can sue for damages, but that failure does not provide cause for termination of the contract.If the other party considers the warranty by one party important enough, then it could be classified as a condition. Generally, however a warranty is usually only a statement of facts. They can be expressed or implied and can be for the lifetime of the contract or be contractual only for a limited time. Express warranties are distinguished from other types of warranties by their specificity. They are specific promises made by a seller either orally or in writing. These promises can include descriptions of items or services, representations of goods in samples or models, and statements of fact. Exaggerated statements or opinions are not considered express warranties.Q. Joy purchased from Riya 100 Kg of Kaju Barfi to be packed in cases, each containing 2 Kg but Riya supplied cases containing 3 Kg of Kaju Barfi. Decide.
