Question

Which of the following items handcrafted in Africa would be most likely made by a man? A. a reed basket B. a piece of clothing ((C.)) a stone carving D. a clay pot

Answer 1

Answer:

C. a stone carving

Explanation:

In older civilizations, works regarded as larger and requiring more strength and reasoning were reserved for men. In contrast, jobs considered smaller and requiring less intellectual effort were considered feminine jobs. Stone carving was a work that required strength, intelligence and talent. Although women were perfectly capable of making a stone sculpture, this work was reserved for men, since they believed that only men would have the strength and intellectual balance for this activity.

Answer 2

I'd say that 

C. a stone carving, is the correct answer because a reed basket, pieces of clothing and clay plots would be most likely made by women.

I don't think women have the strength to do stone carvings, it also seems like the mans job.

Hope this helps.
