Answer:
- Para 23: "We got to their dwellings, where we saw they had built a hut for us with many fires in it"

This is reflected through the descriptions in the passage like 'we got to their dwellings...in it' as it shows that this experience made him understand their life, culture, and values which they offer to others despite being indigenous. Thus, this not only supports but justifies the claim as well. Hence, <u>para 23</u> is the correct answer.
