In the last paragraph, the author writes that folklore collecting _____

  • A. is less difficult than it appears
  • B. is easiest to accomplish in isolated places because people there freely reveal their innermost thoughts
  • C. can be difficult in isolated places, even though the people there are the best sourcesCorrect
  • D. is more difficult than publishing what has been collected

Explanation

In the closing paragraph, the author contrasts the apparent ease of storytelling in small, close-knit communities with how guarded people can actually be with outsiders, so folklore collecting is described as harder than it looks even where sources are richest — matching (C) rather than the other choices, which overstate ease or shift the difficulty to publishing.
