VII. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.
 	 The Hopi are part of the Pueblo Indian culture. Today they live mostly in northeastern Arizona, at the edge of The Painted Desert. Something that sets the Hopi off from other cultures is that it is in some senses a maternal rather than a paternal culture.
The Hopi are divided into clans, or families, along maternal lines, and, as a result, a child becomes a member of the mother's clan rather than the father's. In addition, ownership of property, such as land and houses, passes from mother to daughter instead of from father to son, as it does in other Native American cultures. However, women do not have all the power in this culture. Societal authority still rests in the hands of men, but that authority does pass to men from their mothers.
