Cevap
The tactile engagement with the lukasa allows the speaker to construct a fluid, non-linear recitation of history that can be adapted to the political needs of the ruler.
The correct answer is correct because the lukasa is not a literal, static text but a mnemonic device. Initiates of the Mbudye Society trace the beads and pins to jog their memory, allowing them to perform and reconstruct histories dynamically. This oral recitation can be adjusted depending on the audience and the political context of the Luba court.
