For # 9, I picked B and changed it to C. I still don't see why B is more right than C?
The passage does not say that the critics would find cross-cultural study impossible, so (C) is incorrect.
For Q11, I thought more speculation was necessary to go further with each proposal. Doesn't trying to understand cultural context, learning about non-western epistemological systems, and subjective perspectives require more speculation on the part of the investigator compared to simple eurocentric comparisons?
No; the more understanding and learning a person does, the less speculation she'll need to do.
Hmm. I'm cornfused re Q13. Isn't the second version of multicultural ed adopting a neutral stance using Western methods etc. It's the 3rd version that says adopt the perspectives of the culture. No?
Question 13 has asked us to weaken the criticism of the 2nd version. That criticism is the 3rd version, and is most cogently articulated in the last sentence of the passage (it's only by adopting other perspectives that we can really understand). If (A) is true, then this criticism is incoherent (because it's impossible to follow!).
