Problem 2 - Olympiad

A passage debates whether globalization homogenizes cultures or enriches them through diversity. It analyzes fast-food dominance and the persistence of local festivals. Which statement best summarizes the core debate?

Correct: C

The passage presents conflicting forces: homogenization via global brands (fast-food) vs. preservation through local festivals. Option C captures this tension best. A and D are too pessimistic; B suggests fusion, which isn't the central point.
