Reading the passage
The first paragraph states this relationship directly: “despite the residual effects” of the government's effort, there has been a resurgence in study and preservation. The effort was the mandate to teach English, which discouraged transmission of native languages. Growth is occurring despite its lingering effects, not because the writer has shown those effects disappeared.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
This restates the explicit relationship. The renewed study exists alongside continuing consequences of the misguided mandate.
- B
The writer doesn't report a change of mind by government officials. More university activity doesn't establish this combined explanation involving both government and university attitudes.
- C
We aren't told that concern about a loss to scholarship caused the growth. The existence of preservation efforts doesn't identify that particular motivation.
- D
Radio joins other preservation methods; it isn't said to have replaced them. University curricula, recordings, and newspaper lessons still figure in the account. Nor is replacement offered as the cause of renewed study.
- E
Native American scholars are specifically developing curricula, and no shortage of them is identified as an obstacle. The stated lingering obstacle comes from the government policy, not a lack of scholars.
