What was generally considered the greatest wealth of Maasai pastoralists?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cattle

The direct answer is Option A, cattle. In Maasai pastoral society, cattle were much more than animals: they supplied milk, meat, hides and sometimes income, and they showed a family’s wealth and social position. The reasoning is simple: pastoralists depend mainly on herds; useful and numerous herds provide food and security; therefore cattle become the chief form and symbol of wealth. Option A is correct because cattle supported daily life and status. Option B, ships, is unrelated to the inland pastoral economy described here. Option C, factories, belongs to industrial production, not traditional Maasai wealth. Option D, gold mines, was not the normal basis of Maasai wealth. Memory cue: Maasai pastoralists—think cattle, pasture and prestige.
