Answer:

a)  The act forced federal employees to pass competitive exams.                                                

Explanation:

The Pendleton Civil Service Act is an act of the federal government which was passed by 47th Congress of the United States. According to this act in order to serve in the government as a government official or in a civil service, people have to give competitive examinations to be appointed as a government employee rather than having ties with some politicians.

Also these employees cannot be terminated or demoted from their post due to some political reasons.

Hence the correct option is (a).

Every nacireman owns a shrine and there he does his magical body rituals. The nacirema are quite different in their cultural practice and magical beliefs such as the body ritual and hence considered quite unusual.  We are reminded however of  the danger of interpreting a culture based on first impressions of practices which seem unfamiliar to the observer. Invariably concluding that we should never make conclude that a people are quite different from us as they're in fact not.
