Innovative as it is, Luis Valdez' acto owes much to the theater traditions or other periods and regions. Like early Spanish American religious dramas, secular folk dramas,
Line and the Mexican carpas of a somewhat later period, actos
are usually performed outdoors by traveling groups of players or by local theater groups. The improvised comic satire of the actos is often attributed to Valdez' study of the Italian commedia dell' arte of the sixteenth century, although some critics see it as a direct reflection of the
comic and improvisational qualities of the more contemporary and local carpas of Mexican theater. The Italian influence is likely, whatever Valdez‘ immediate source: the Mexican carpas themselves are said to have originated from the theater pieces of a sixteenth-centurySpanish writer inspired by encounters with Italian commedia dell'arte troupes on tour in Spain.

5. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens
the author's argument concerning the debt of the
acto to the theater traditions of other periods and
regions?
(A) Many popular forms of theater rely heavily
on improvisation.
(B) Plays resembling the acto in structure were
written in the 1970's by West African playwrights who are interested in dramatizing the richness of their own cultures.
(C) The use of masks has, at one time or another,
been characteristic of the theater traditions
of almost all cultures, even those most isolated
from outside influences.
(D) During a strike, it is common for union members
to present musical skits dramatizing the
values of solidarity and resistance.
(E) Before 1965 Luis Valdez had attended many
performances of traditional Mexican theater
groups touring the western United States.

这个题目真心不懂啊，答案是E，但是我看那尚友的解释觉得很牵强啊，所以不懂，求教了。。。

这是我参考PDF上的答案：


4. 定位L9 的although, 后面一定是一个负评价的
东西，答案A、B；
B 中提到的内容文章没有涉及，A 里面说的就是文章后
面说的东西，追根溯源，其
实还是源于意大利的。

你哪里不懂呢？
Line and the Mexican carpas of a somewhat later period, actos
are usually performed outdoors by traveling groups of players or by local theater groups.

这句话不就对应了E么？

每一个标红色的部分都是推翻前一个红色部分的推论。最后作者认为意大利对V的影响是存在的，不论直接影响V的是什么。 冒号后面是引述事实，说Mexican戏剧源自16世纪的西班牙作家，而这个作家是被意大利喜剧启发的。
现在要支持作者的推论，就是要证明V直接或者间接受到了意大利喜剧的影响。答案E， V看了很多mexican的表演。那么联系冒号后面的事实，就可以建立V和意大利喜剧间的关系

----我的理解……  不知道Mexican theater和 Mexican  carpas是不是一个东西啊= =
