Explanation
Creating a filter: when reading the prompt, we can pause
at the word "where." A society is not a place, so "where" is incorrect. Choice
(A) is out.
Applying the filter: We scan for the same error below and
don't find it, so we must go back to (B) and look for new errors.
Finding objective defects: choice (B) might be correct.
(C) uses "which means" incorrectly. Hunter-gatherers are included in the
sentence as the people, not a term; the verb needs to be plural; if
"hunter-gatherers" is to be included as a term to be defined, it needs to be in
quotation marks and the preceding part of the sentence would have to be
different. (C) and (D) are out. Choice (E) introduces a bogus pronoun "it,"
moves on to a new independent clause without a comma before "and," and uses the
present tense where the past tense is required. The correct answer is (B).
