Reading the passage
Start with the development we're matching. An inherited tradition moves to a different setting, encounters new influences and develops in its own way. We want both the shared starting point and the changes produced by the new surroundings.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
The traditional recipes match the inherited Spanish tradition. Moving the restaurant matches its arrival in the Americas, and adding local ingredients matches the influence of the new cultural environment. The family keeps a starting point while adapting it.
- B
Failure isn't part of the account. We aren't told that poetry left Spain because it had become unsuccessful there. Moving alone doesn't capture the development we predicted.
- C
Restoring an old house preserves or recovers its original form. Latin American poetry develops away from the original through new influences, so this goes in the wrong direction.
- D
Researching ancestry looks backward to identify origins. It doesn't match taking an inherited tradition into a new setting and changing it there.
- E
Not preserving vacation memories has no counterpart in the account of poetry. We haven't been told that Latin American poets fail to document their work or experiences. E misses the relationship between an inheritance and its adaptation.
