Reading the passage
A center of style is a place of production whose work spreads outward to several ethnic groups. A family, clan or workshop keeps a consistent approach while adjusting features for different clients. I'd look for that connection between a production center and its wider distribution.
Working the answers
- A
The works' similarity makes this tempting, but similarity doesn't make them interchangeable for their users. Clients still require particular features. A also describes a broad area of use rather than the production-and-distribution relationship we predicted.
- B
Teaching other artists isn't required by the description. The artists can make and sell the objects themselves; no network of instruction is established.
- CCorrect
This includes the location of production, the consistent style with subtle variations, and distribution to surrounding groups. It captures both the center and the outward movement of its work.
- D
This describes production throughout a large region by its various tribes. It misses the concentration of production in centers serving multiple groups, which is what complicates attribution.
- E
The account doesn't say the centers arise through artists migrating in from different tribes. A family belonging to one ethnic group can serve several others without such migration. E substitutes a different explanation of how the center operates.
