Q22

I understand why A is right but why is D wrong? If the Navajo "abhorred" the early bordered style which had a "top, bottom, and border" is it too much of a stretch to say that they were attempting to disintegrate this "rigid form" of the banded style?

Good thought. It sounds like you see how the "abhorrence" line reference is much safer, more direct support for choice (A), but you're wondering why it can't also justify (D).

The problem is that in line 17 the Navajo are rebelling against the bordered style, not the banded style.

The banded style refers to the three types of banding they used (stripes, zigzags, and diamonds).

The bordered style was forced upon the Navajo by their Anglo customers. So if there was a rigid form the colored stripes were attempting to disintegrate ("break through"), it would be the bordered style.

Hope this helps.

I have a question about E...
It appears prior to 1890 because in L4 it's listed as band, right?
Is this the same one as strips of color in L18?
I thought they are the same at first but then L18 one says it appears in early bordered (bordered appeared about 1890 so I thought early bordered means the time when bordered just appeared...did not pass time that long) so confused a little...
Or do they have the stripe of color prior Anglo's influence and after the periot it had different stripe of color?
Also...A comes from L26, "alternated" , correct?
Thank you

I think you meant to post this on Q24, but yes, E is mentioned in L4. The colored stripes are not the same as L18's strips of color as colored stripes and strips of color usually do not mean the same thing. The former refers to a type of design, whereas strips of color could mean literally anything if there's a line of color. So you should treat them as completely different.

With A, there's no specific referral to a "repetition of forms" but they can inferred in L25, where the author mentions "continuous", which is more or less a repetition. The final sentence can also be assumed to mean a repetition of forms(made in 1865).

The real giveaway for this question, in my opinion, is line 6 and line 11-12, which Amsden uses to describe the bordered pattern that emerged after 1890. Hope this helps.

Oh, yeah I wanted to ask about Q24
So they are different...that was tricky.
Thanks for your response!
