How did both colonial administration and drought increase social inequality in Maasai society?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Colonial administration gave special powers to some chiefs, while drought destroyed poor pastoralists’ cattle more quickly

Colonial rule appointed selected Maasai chiefs and gave them administrative power, privileges, and better access to resources. During drought, pastoralists with small herds lost their livestock sooner and became poorer and more dependent. Thus, inequality grew through unequal access to both power and cattle. Option B is incorrect because drought reduces, rather than increases, livestock. Exam tip: link colonial privileges with loss of livestock when explaining Maasai inequality.
