3. For centuries, the people of Pentecost Island have held an unusual event: land diving. Once a year, young men tie jungle vines to their ankles and throw themselves off 100 foot towers.

Extreme sports are not new.
The villagers take great risks to improve their chances of a good harvest.

Based on this excerpt the authors are most likely to attempt to answer which question
