【A】 Many indigenous communities live in isolated and often highly biodiverse areas, where living in balance with nature is crucial for survival. As keen observers of their environments, indigenous peoples often possess knowledge linking various phenomena of eco-system change. For example, centuries of knowledge about tsunami waves (16) the Moken or the “sea nomads” of the Andaman Sea along the west coast of Thailand to stay safe when the deadly tsunami struck their villages in 2004.
This knowledge is also used to make seasonal forecasts and predict weather patterns. The pastoralists of East Africa are able to predict when and where the rains will fall -- (17) observing the flowering patterns of trees, and the behavior of insects and birds. These biological indicators are observed by scouts roaming the landscape, to determine where and when the cattle herds should move.
This indigenous knowledge is not (18) . It is constantly being enriched to include knowledge of new phenomena that affect the environment. Take the example of the First Nations communities in northern Canada. They have observed changes in the hunting behavior and pack dynamics of wolves, and consequent declines in caribou populations. These changes are attributed to the roads and pipelines that now (19) their forests.
Indigenous knowledge systems include values for managing the relationship of humans with biodiversity. In their conception, “nature” often includes animals, plants, the earth, humans and spirits -- all (20) reciprocal kinship relationships. Humans are not considered superior to nature, and nature does not exist to serve humans. For some indigenous communities, animals are believed to present themselves as gifts to hunters -- gifts to be respected and cherished through rituals.

請觀察空格後方的「reciprocal kinship relationships」（互惠的親緣關係）這個詞組。如果我們說萬物處於一種「家族關係」之中，你認為萬物之間是彼此獨立、互相對抗，還是被某種無形的紐帶「連繫」在一起呢？哪一個動詞最能形容這種被「繫」在同一個體系中的狀態？

動作夠乾淨，小鬼
哼，這題你倒是處理得挺乾淨俐落，沒什麼好挑剔的。既然答對了，就別得意，這只是基本功而已。
- 核心概念： 你抓住了文章描述原住民自然觀的脈絡。文中提到的 reciprocal kinship relationships（互惠的親緣關係）說明萬物皆非獨立，而是緊密連結的生命體。因此選擇 tied（連結）是唯一合理的決定，這準確體現了萬物被納入龐大家族網絡的意象。
