anthor vote for A, Line24-26 says "although age was still crucial in determing authority" in orther to indicate that women’s dependence on men in precolonial Kenya was not absolute. 多么顺理成章的理解,否则为什么加"although”表转折 E 说 identify a factor that led Robertson to revise her hypothesis about precolonial Africa 其中这个a factor应该是 gender吧,所以与line24~26无关啊,作者不能用Although转折的内容去indentify转折前的内容吧。

the status of age as a principle of social organization这个是author一开始就承认的,文章还专门用了个still(it was in Ghana, although age was still crucial in determining authority. In contrast with)
还是支持A,indicate这个词表达了作者点到即止的意图,因为有Age因素在,所以没有absolute dependance on man,作者在这里提到Age是预防读者看到后面几行的解释马上就以为Kenya women dependance on man,并和稍后对Senior Women的描述形成呼应。
