Why is it proper to call Maasai cattle an 'economic and cultural centre'?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because food, wealth, prestige and identity were linked with them

In Maasai society, cattle provided milk, meat and other useful resources, making them a major basis of livelihood and wealth. The number of cattle was also linked with social prestige, marriage relations and community identity; hence their role was cultural as well as economic. Option A is too narrow because cattle were not merely a means of paying tax. Exam tip: mention livelihood, wealth, prestige and social identity when explaining the importance of Maasai cattle.
