Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
A folk culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and interpersonal relationships are strong Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes Most goods are handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social classes Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in induatrialized countries such as the United States and Canada Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo – America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age In Amish areas, horse – drawn
buggies still serve as a local transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles The Amish’s central religious concept of Demut, “humility”, clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect the religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for
maintaining order
By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and constantly
changing Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists, leading to the
establishment of many specialized professions Secular institutions, of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money – based economy prevails Because of these
contrasts, “popular” may be viewed as clearly different from “folk” The popular is replacing the folk in
industrialized countries and in many developing nations, Folk – made objects give way to their popular equivqlent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B ,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Before the 1500’s, the western plains of North America were dominated by farmers One group, the Mandans, lived in the upper Missouri River country, primarily in present – day North Dakota They had large villages of houses built close together The tight arrangement enabled the Mandans to protect
themselves more easily from the attacks of others who might seek to obtain some of the food these highly capable farmers stored from one year to the next
The women had primary responsibility for the fiwlds They had to exercise considerable skill to
produce the desired results, for their northern location meant fleeting growing seasons Winter often lingered; autumn could be ushered in by severe frost For good measure, during the spring and summer, drought, heat, hail, grasshoppers, and other frustrations might await the wary grower
Under such conditions, Mandan women had to grow maize capable of weathering adversity They began
as early as it appeared feasible to do so in the spring, clearing the land, using fire to clear stubble from the fields and then planting From this point until the first green corn could be harvested, the crop required labor and vigilance Harvesting proceeded in two stages In August the Mandans picked a smaller amount of the crop before it had matured fully This green corn was boiled, dried, and shelled, with some of the maize slated for immeidtae consumption and the resty stored in animal – skin bags Later in the fall, the people picked the rest of the corn They saved the best of the harvest for seeds or for trade, with the remainder eaten right away or stored for later use in underground reserves With appropriate banking of the extra food, the Mandans protected themselves against the disaster of crop failure and accompanying hunger
The women planted another staple, squash, about the first of June, and harvested it near the time of the green cron harvest After they picked it, they sliced it, dried it, and strung the slices before they stored them Once again, they saved the seed from the best of the year’s crop The Mandans also grew
