Reading the passage
The relationship goes beyond merely hunting horses for meat. In context, that means more was involved: some horses may have been kept, ridden, or treated in a way reflected by their burial with humans. Predict something like a broader or more involved relationship, rather than a harder-to-understand one.
Working the answers
- A
A basically parallel relationship would be similar to hunting for meat. The writer is suggesting an additional dimension, not another version of the same relationship.
- B
Elusive means difficult to grasp or pin down. The point is that the relationship involved more than hunting, not that it was harder to understand.
- C
This also substitutes difficulty of understanding for greater involvement.
- D
Less clearly defined would make the comparison about how precisely the relationship can be described. That isn't the meaning of beyond here.
- ECorrect
A more complex relationship can include uses or associations beyond obtaining meat. This preserves the sentence's point without specifying a ritual or belief the evidence hasn't established.
