(A), (B) and (D) only (A) and (C) only (A), (B), (C) and (D) (A), (C) and (D) only |
(A), (C) and (D) only |
The correct answer is Option (4) - (A), (C) and (D) only (A) Layout of the market symbolises the hierarchical inter-group social relations of that region: This is correct. Gell argued that the physical organization of a market can reflect the social hierarchy of a region. For example, vendors of higher social status might occupy specific locations within the market. (B) Few goods are free in the market for groups lower in the hierarchy: This is not a central argument by Gell. ****** |
