Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
Psychodynamics of orality are recurring features that Walter J. Ong associates with thought and expression in cultures where knowledge is organized primarily through speech rather than writing.
To solve a sequence question based on an author's framework, match each listed term to the author's named characteristic and preserve the order of presentation in the source.
Application
“Additive” corresponds to Ong’s first characteristic, “additive rather than subordinative.”
“Aggregative” follows as the second characteristic, “aggregative rather than analytic.”
“Copious” represents the third characteristic, “redundant or copious.”
“Traditionalist” represents the fourth characteristic, “conservative or traditionalist.”
“Close to the human lifeworld” is the fifth characteristic in this portion of the list.
Cross-check and contrast
Reading the first five headings in Ong’s discussion gives the chain A → B → C → D → E.
A → B → C → D → E preserves the source order from the first through the fifth characteristic.
B → C → D → E → A begins at the second characteristic and moves the first to the end.
C → D → E → A → B begins at the third characteristic and cycles the first two to the end.
D → E → A → B → C begins at the fourth characteristic and cycles the first three to the end.
Therefore, the required sequence is Additive → Aggregative → Copious → Traditionalist → Close to the human lifeworld (A → B → C → D → E).
