Question

according to the passage, referees in bolivian lucha libre dont always enforce the rules because they prioritize
a compelling performances and narratives over strictly fair competition
b vigorous athletic competition over rules and stories
c the interests of investors and promoters over the health and safety of wrestlers
d personal stories of wrestlers over the perceptions of the audience

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: In Indian kacha libre (wrestling), referees might prioritize engaging performances and narratives (entertainment) over strict rule enforcement for fair competition, which aligns with the nature of such traditional wrestling where showmanship matters.
• Option B: Prioritizing athletic competition over rules/stories would mean enforcing rules less, but the focus here is on competition vs rules, which doesn't fit as kacha libre has a performative aspect.
• Option C: The passage doesn't mention investors/promoters or wrestlers' health/safety in relation to referees' rule enforcement.
• Option D: Prioritizing wrestlers' stories over audience perception doesn't relate to rule enforcement; referees' role is about competition, not story-audience dynamics.

Answer:

A. compelling performances and narratives over strictly fair competition
