Social Studies BJC Set 2 Practice Test

The idea being tested is how certain cultural practices preserve memory of African roots in the Caribbean. Obeah is a set of spiritual beliefs, healing rites, and protective practices that originate from West and Central African traditions brought by enslaved Africans. These practices survived in diaspora communities, often maintained in secrecy or blended with other beliefs, and they transmit African cosmology, values, and social roles across generations. Because it directly embodies African spiritual heritage and serves as a living link to ancestors, it stands as a memorial to African culture. Other options show African influence in music, celebration, or crafts, but they describe broader cultural expressions rather than a direct, ongoing remembrance of African cultural traditions.
