Reading the passage
We've already predicted that courts will increasingly recognize Native Canadian collective ownership and honor the resulting claims. The ending also approves of that change. Look for this shift in how courts handle the claims, rather than a description of property in general.
Working the answers
- A
Recognizing collective ownership in these cases doesn't make private ownership obsolete. Nothing calls for replacing private property altogether, and collective ownership is described as traditional, not as a new modern invention.
- BCorrect
This combines the expected increase in successful claims with its reason: courts will recognize collective ownership as more appropriate in these cases. It gives a version of the prediction we made.
- C
Titleholders and caretakers are part of the distinction, but the writer doesn't reduce the litigation to a debate about how all individuals should treat their property. The central issue is recognizing collective claims to these cultural objects.
- D
The opening says rights have not been fully defined. It doesn't make a comprehensive definition a requirement that must be satisfied before these disputes can be resolved.
- E
Private property already permits groups functioning legally as individuals to own objects. The needed change is recognition of the different collective concept, including community membership and limits on individual disposal. Merely adding joint owners to private property misses that distinction.
