Answer: E. They are a conservative and pious community.

Explanation:

The opening description of the men whom were in “sad-colored garments”, “steeple-crowned hats” and “bareheaded” or hooded women simply shows that the characters were in a conservative and pious community.

The introduction to the Puritan society coupled with the "sad-colored garments" and steeple-crowned hats” shows that the community was dour, and judgmental and the community had people who were traditional, conservative and deeply religious.

Therefore, the correct option is E.

Answer:

Rory is following the “zoo approach” to intercultural encounters.

Explanation:

When using the "zoo approach" to interact with a different culture, the individual observes this new culture the same way they would observe animals in a zoo; everything is exotic, foreign, different, and the humans at the other side of the cage are normal and free while the animals are the ones who are locked in their ways. However, even though this approach can sometimes be positive and teach interesting information, it is a limited perspective.

Quoting the book "Ethics in intercultural and international Communication", by Fred L. Casmir: "One may discover amazing, interesting and valuable information by using such a perspective and even develop a real fondness for those exotic people, but miss the point that we are as culturally "caged" as others and that they are culturally as "free" as we are."
