I guess, it is closest to "maintained".

But why not "endured"

Maintain means that you make sure sth continues to exist ,you keep it alive .
Endure means that something lasts ,for example ''Bacterias are not enduring ; they are short lived .

Hi

Please can someone advise me .. from where can I download longman e book ..

I have searched in several sites.. either the link is not working or after downloading I am unable to open the rar file.

endured- continue to exists long time

So, I would go for "endured"

I'll go with "endured" as well.

I say that it is closest with "maintained". "Endure " has more to do with being painful, with bearing, or with suffering. In this sentence, the descendants simply maintained the memories of those villages throughout time. It has nothing to do with "endure ".

Maybe somebody has the book to give us the correct answer.
