Q6

Any chance someone can give an explanation on this? I ended up with C but I am having trouble figuring out why it's wrong.

This question ties into the central issue at the heart of the passage: is Weiner right that the use of video erases indigenous identity by forcing a Western worldview onto those who use it? Turner says no--the Kayapo are able to create videos of their ceremonies that "mirror" and "conform to the principle" of those ceremonies. So what do we want in an answer? Something that says Weiner is wrong and indigenous people can use video without sacrificing their own values.

(D) addresses exactly that. Turner has shown that Weiner is wrong, and people can indeed use video to express their own values.

(A) and (B) don't relate at all. No one is arguing about how diverse the world is or how common video is.
(C) seems to defend the use of video, but that's not quite the argument that we have in the passage. It's not that Weiner is saying "don't record" and Turner is saying "record." Rather, they're arguing about what happens when people do record. Has their own culture been erased? C doesn't get at that dimension at all.
(E) also addresses a different argument than we have. It's saying, "Look, don't worry about video, because they already have cars and radios," or something like that. That's an interesting point, and while someone might say that to Weiner, it doesn't fit at all with the portion addressing Turner's work.
