Read the excerpt below from a prescribed African drama and answer the question that follows:
CHIEF MDI: You speak of building a glass institute over the sacred groves of our forebears, claiming the future belongs to algorithms and paved roads. But a tree that severs its roots to reach the sun faster only hastens its own fall to the first strong wind.
DR. KALE: Father, the grove yields no medicine for the fever currently ravaging the lower villages, nor does it feed the children whose crop fields flooded last season. Reverence for dry soil will not cure a dying generation.
In the dramatic dialogue above, the clash between Chief Mdi and Dr. Kale primarily serves as a commentary on which of the following central themes?
- The tension between preserving cultural identity and embracing pragmatic modern intervention to address human sufferingCevap
- BThe absolute superiority of modern technology over traditional spiritual practices in solving rural community problems
- CThe technical and logistical procedures required to clear ancestral lands for modern civil infrastructure
- DThe personal grief of a father when his son chooses an urban profession over family lineage obligations
Cevap
The dialogue primarily illustrates the tension between preserving cultural identity and embracing pragmatic modern intervention to address human suffering.
The central theme of the passage revolves around the conflict between traditional heritage (represented by Chief Mdi's reverence for the sacred grove and roots) and modern progress driven by immediate human need (represented by Dr. Kale's focus on curing disease and hunger). The text balances both perspectives to highlight the tension between cultural preservation and practical modernization.
