Answer 1

Answer:

The diversity and richness of Philippine literature evolved side by side with the country's history. This can best be appreciated in the context of the country's pre-colonial cultural traditions and the socio-political histories of its colonial and contemporary traditions.The average Filipino's unfamiliarity with his indigenous literature was largely due to what has been impressed upon him: that his country was "discovered" and, hence, Philippine "history" started only in 1521. So successful were the efforts of colonialists to blot out the memory of the country's largely oral past that present-day Filipino writers, artists and journalists are trying to correct this inequity by recognizing the country's wealth of ethnic traditions and disseminating them in schools and in the mass media. The rousings of nationalistic pride in the 1960s and 1970s also helped bring about this change of attitude among a new breed of Filipinos concerned about the "Filipino identity."

Answer 2

The correct statement is a. It mirrors the deeply ingrained Filipino values, culture and tradition  even when keeping up with the changing times.

• The classic literature is related to the country from prehistory till today due to its colonial legacies.
• Epics were moved down from generation to generation in pre-Hispanic Philippine literature, which promptly began as an oral tradition.
• The gradual growth of literature in this country progressively expanded and flourished in tandem with the country's history reflecting Filipino values.
• Regional features and the possible existence of many ethnolinguistic groups in the nation contributed to its cultural diversity.
