What larger point does the importance of milk in Maasai pastoralism show?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Livestock was central to nutrition and daily life

Direct answer: Option A, livestock was central to nutrition and daily life. Pastoralism is a way of life in which people depend greatly on animals and animal products. Milk could provide regular nourishment and could be consumed or exchanged. The reasoning is: animals were kept and managed; they produced milk and other useful products; these products supported everyday food needs; therefore livestock stood at the centre of household life, not only trade. Option A is correct because the importance of milk shows the close connection between animals, nutrition and routine living. Option B is wrong because it says the Maasai depended only on grain, which does not describe their pastoral way of life. Option C is wrong because milk comes from livestock and is directly related to animal keeping. Option D is wrong because milk is food, not merely a trade tax. This does not mean every person ate exactly the same diet at every time; it means animal products were highly important in the system described. Memory cue: pastoral life—pasture, animals, milk and daily survival are connected.
