Although the heading in option A is not correct, I have been able to locate the correct question heading, and these are the answers:

Question A: This Indian group is known as “the soul” of Puerto Rico...

Answer A: 7 (Taíno)

b: 2 (Amber)

c: 6 (Merengue and Bachata)

d: 9 (Cuba)

e: 8 (Storytelling)

f: 5 (U.S Trade Embargo)

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on some of the answers, it can be added that "larimar" (the name is an adaptation of the name of the artisan who re-discovered and baptized the stone in 1974) is a semiprecious stone that can be found in the southern shore of the Dominican Republic. The word "taíno" refers to the native inhabitants of the islands of Cuba, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola before Columbus's arrival. The U.S. Trade Embargo was the result of the removal from power of the government of Fulgencio Batista, whom the US supported, by Fidel Castro and a group of other revolutionaries.
