Which statement best explains the livelihood of pastoral nomads?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They depended on animals and changing pastures
Pastoral nomads reared animals such as sheep, goats, camels, or cattle and moved from one grazing ground to another according to the availability of fodder. Their livelihood therefore depended on livestock and changing pastures. Growing paddy permanently in one field describes settled cultivators, not pastoral nomads. Exam tip: remember ‘livestock + seasonal movement for pasture’ as the key feature of pastoral nomads.
