GST 112 Study Session 11: Labour and Culture in The Pre-Colonial Period Objective Question

Question

What was the main difference between Aro and Nabo group farming methods?
Options
A Aro involved relatives, while Nabo involved age-mates.
B Aro involved working on personal farms, while Nabo involved working on fathers' farms.
Correct Answer
C Participants in Aro were younger and dependent, while Nabo participants were independent.
D Aro was seasonal, while Nabo was continuous.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text states: 'The difference is that youths worked on their father's farm in Nabo, rather than on their personal farms in Aro. Participants in Nabo are younger than those in Aro. The youths are still dependent on their parents or guardian in Nabo, but independent in Aro.' Option B captures the core distinction in where the labor was applied, and implicitly the independence of the participants.

Hint

Focus on whose farm was being worked on in each system, and the age/dependency of the participants.
