Question 6 • W Geography_B_IC

The Masai people of East Africa live in communities that make economic choices based mainly on the habits and customs of their ancestors. One example of Masai's traditional economy would be --

Answer
A
their importation of synthetic fabrics
B
their use of traditional dance and song
C
their use of nomadic grazing techniques
D
their use of outside currency for trade when necessary

Explanation

A traditional economy is based on customs and practices passed down through generations. The Masai’s use of nomadic grazing techniques reflects an inherited way of making a living by moving livestock to find pasture. Importing synthetic fabrics and using outside currency involve outside influences, while dance and song are cultural practices but not an economic choice.
