Answer to Question 1

 To Euro-Americans songs of birds do not belong to the human world and so are not human expression.
 To the Kaluli the birds' songs represent the voices of their deceased ancestors who have died and changed into birds and so their song represents human meaning to them.
 Both cultures, however, agree that all music must have human meaning to be called music.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B. music and the belief system
