2776 . Read the passage below and choose the best alternative (A. B, C, or D) to answer the questions. Throughout human history there have been many stringent taboos concerning watching other people eat or eating in the presence of others.

In prehistoric times, when food was so precious and the on-lookers so hungry, not to offer half of the little food one had was unthinkable since every glance was a plea for life. Further, during those times, people existed in nuclear or extended family groups, and the sharing of food was quit literally supporting one's family or, by extension, preserving one's self.   In developing the main idea of the passage, the author does which of the following?
  • A. Downplays earlier attempts to explain the origins of a social prohibition
  • B. Adapts a scientific theory and applies it to a spiritual relationship.
  • C. Simplifies a complex biological phenomenon by explaining it in terms of social needs.
