Question 8 • NY-Global History and Geography I

How are modern-day Shona similar to their ancestors?

Answer
A
They thrive on trade with the Swahili Coast.
B
They exclusively practice animism.
C
They raise cattle and cultivate sorghum.
D
They continue the Bantu migration.

Explanation

The Shona have long relied on farming and livestock raising. Their ancestors cultivated crops such as sorghum and kept cattle, practices that remain important among modern-day Shona. Trade with the Swahili Coast was not the defining similarity, and the other choices make inaccurate claims about religion or migration.
