Reading the passage
The first proposal teaches about other cultures while keeping the majority culture's methods, perspectives, and values. That's what it does. But why call it modest?
What we’re looking for
We need to explain the adjective, not just repeat a feature of the proposal. How much does this approach ask schools to change?
Working the answers
- A
There is no comparison of how much speculation the approaches involve.
- BCorrect
Schools add study of other cultures while keeping the majority culture's framework in place. They aren't asked to set aside its values or adopt another culture's methods. That makes this the smallest departure from the existing framework, explaining “most modest.”
- C
Modest doesn't mean least biased. Keeping the majority's outlook is precisely what the first critics find objectionable; nothing establishes that this proposal has the least chauvinism.
- D
It studies other cultures through the majority culture's perspective. Studying several cultures is not the same as employing several cultural perspectives.
- E
Neutrality is the second proposal's stated aim. The first deliberately retains the majority culture's values, so this doesn't explain why the first is modest.
