Q1
Which choice best describes the function of the underlined sentence in the overall structure of the text?
In museum studies, curators increasingly question the neutrality of display labels. When an exhibit describes an artifact as “primitive,” it subtly positions modern viewers as more advanced than the makers. Such wording can shape interpretation as strongly as the object itself, especially for visitors unfamiliar with the culture on display. Defenders of traditional labels argue that older terms are sometimes retained for consistency across collections. Nevertheless, many institutions now revise language to reduce implied hierarchies and invite more contextual understanding.
