I accompanied Thiam for the ritualistic morning greetings. It took a long time to complete the full circle. As we moved in our orbit, I noticed others circulating Line in theirs. The entire village was in motion, and from all directions one could hear “How did you sleep?’，followed by inquiries about each family member’s sleep. As we walked the village，it became clear that in the tradition of its inhabitants, and even in their imagination, the concept of divided, differentiated, segmented space does not exist. There are no fences, hedges, nets, ditches, or demarcation lines anywhere. The space is single, communal, open; it puts up no limits, offers no resistance.
In the passage，the author is represented as being
(A) a passionate reformer
(B) a local leader
© an inexperienced employee
(D) an exacting critic
(E) an interested outsider
The answer is E. Is it because it talks of “its inhabitants” and “their imagination,” implying that the author is not part of this village?
