Question

Beyond agriculture, which vocation was exclusively for men in ancient Idanre?
Options
A Blacksmithing
B Carpentry
C Hunting
Correct Answer
D Mat making
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text specifies: 'Exclusive vocations for men include hunting, blacksmithing and carpentry. Hunting is the oldest male occupation in ancient Idanre. Only the males were allowed to embark on hunting into the forest to kill animals which served as meat for the family.' While blacksmithing and carpentry are mentioned as male vocations, hunting is highlighted as 'exclusive' and specific to Idanre in the context of male-only participation.

Hint

Look for the vocation explicitly stated as 'exclusive' for males in a specific ancient society.
