A is not mentioned in the passage.

Hope is more clear.

Ask if you have doubts

Regards

But the passage states that the transmission of culture was sustained. So, doesn't that mean that the culture of the first generation was sustained by others and wasn't altered by succeeding generations.

Sustained from offspring to another or generation in generation does not mean it is static, though.

It is just maintained over time.

(A) The heritage was formed primarily out of the experiences of those slaves who attempted to preserve the stability of their families.

(D) The heritage was not formed out of the experiences of only a single generation of slaves.

See the difference why A is wrong. It is basically the opposite of D

Hope now is clear why A is definitely wrong

it was the sustained by passing from generation to generation.

I still couldn't wrap my head around Q 23. Why is the answer D for Q23? Why is E incorrect?

Thanks for the quick reply Carcass!

My prediction was the same, i.e., looking for an answer that says "historians would love to study the plantations that will tell them about the slaves' preference and its effects".

(D) states the same thing, I get how D is right

BUT (E) states "allow the historian to examine the influence of slaves' preferences on the actions of plantation owners"; This says that the historians will get to know about slaves' preferences and their effect ON PLANTATION OWNERS' ACTION;

Hence, I'm unable to eliminate (E) and I'm stuck between E and D. I know I'm wrong, but I can't figure out where I'm wrong with this thinking.

Could you please explain on how to eliminate (E)? Your comment says, "We are looking for an option where slaves preferences were independent from outside influences(plantation owners)." But IMO (E) doesn't state that outside influence affected slaves' preferences. IMO, it says slaves' preferences AFFECTED plantation owners actions.
