Information memorized and passed down from generation to generation.

• A. Culture
• B. Core Values
• C. World View
• D. Oral Culture

Answer: (D)

This item is about how a community preserves and passes knowledge across generations. Oral culture refers to the knowledge, stories, customs, and histories that are memorized and taught through spoken language and memory—from elders sharing legends to songs and proverbs passed down verbally. This method of transmission is what keeps a culture alive across time, especially in societies where writing isn’t the main way knowledge is recorded.

Culture describes the broad system of beliefs and practices a group shares, core values are the important beliefs a group holds, and world view is how people interpret and make sense of the world. None of these focus on the spoken, memory-based transmission that defines oral culture.
