There is a new trend in anthropology to research overarching trends of cultural change, as opposed to learning detailed cultural information about specific, often small, groups. As many cultures are losing much of their traditional identification, including customs and language, this shift has been to the detriment of the field because we are losing the ability to learn about distinct cultures before they fade away.

The statements above, if true, most strongly support which of the following statements?
  1. Recent changes in anthropology are not positive for the field.
  2. Studying the details of distinct cultures does not have as much merit as understanding larger trends around the world.
  3. Better trained anthropologists are more likely to study a culture in depth than are others.
  4. Anthropology should be practiced in a way that allows for the most understanding about the largest segments of societies.
  5. The most alarming part of recent trends in anthropology is that new anthropologists are not finding ways to immerse themselves into their work.
Explanation
Answer: A -The passage most strongly supports the statement that recent changes in anthropology are not positive for the field. The passage laments the recent changes as failing to preserve valuable information about distinct cultures.
