RC Question 10 Explanation, by LSATHacks

DISCUSSION: The people in lines 51-54 think it is unnecessary to write down languages. Presumably, they think the languages will still survive: they seem to value oral languages.

If writing isn’t necessary, then that means the languages can survive without writing.

___________

1. CORRECT. See discussion. 
2. Communication can happen using any language. The people in lines 51-54 didn’t mention anything about communication in general.
3. They are arguing for oral preservation of a custom. That’s hardly evidence that they believe some oral customs don’t need oral preservation. 
4. We have no idea what they think about external influences on all tribal customs. We only know about language.
5. The people mentioned are arguing against writing down languages.
