Level B

Exercise 1

1. (D) To pretend that Indians are a primitive people is to choose to see them as unlettered and barbaric. To view them as a “first” or primal people is to choose to see them as linked to ancient truths. Thus, to the author, the distinction between “primitive” and “primal” is that, while the former has some negative connotations, the latter has neutral or positive ones.

2. (D) Matthiessen rejects those who would patronizingly dismiss Indian spirituality as simple hearted (or simpleminded) in any way. Thus, he puts animism and naturalism in quotes because he disagrees with their being applied to something as profound as the Indian concept of earth and spirit.
