Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The passage suggests that food foraging groups celebrate the roles of men in hunting and warfare, and women in bringing new life into the world. However, the passage does not indicate that one gender is ranked higher than the other. Option B and E imply that women are superior or have more power, which is not directly stated. Option C and D make assumptions about gender roles that are not supported by the passage. Therefore, the best choice is A, which acknowledges the differences in roles but emphasizes that both are valued and not ranked hierarchically.
