RC Question 16 Explanation, by LSATHacks

DISCUSSION: Bicultural means that the biographies came from two cultures. In this case, the Native Americans provided the stories and they were written by non-Natives in the Western autobiographical style.

___________

1. No. Westerners wrote the biographies, and they based them on their own traditions.
2. Not at all. The contributions were different. Natives spoke, Westerners wrote.
3. Lines 1-5 suggest that the Natives didn’t write anything. It sounds like Westerners recorded their oral stories. And the passage doesn’t say the sources are unknown.
4. No. Natives did no writing. Westerners wrote the stories. 
5. CORRECT. Lines 1-4 say that Natives told their stories to non-Natives. The non-Natives wrote everything.
