For the question about Native People and Cameras, the correct answer is "cultures are shaped in fundamental ways by the technologies they use".
This phrase is correct because Ginsburg disagrees with Weiner, who is the one who considers it "technological determinism". What is Weiner's POV? That cultures are shaped by the technology they use. This is the core of the entire passage.
Then, why is it not "technology is exchanged in ways that appear to be predestined"? That is for two reasons.
(1) I think I have seen one replacement synonym answer actually be right. They are a red flag.
(2) J.Y. explains that technological exchange was like written to happen. As in like, 2000 years ago, a Native believed they would receive a camera. Common sense would tell you no, but since that's not a strong rebuttal for the LSAT, we also know it's incorrect because that's not even what Weiner says.
#feedback For the common trap examples, I think stating the correct answer after the specific trap answers listed would be good recall and provide even more depth into why these answers are wrong.

#feedback I think many would benefit from these articles also being available in video form
#feedback would really appreciate if the correct answers were also given for proper contrast
