AKikuyu, Kamba, Baganda and Nyamwezi
BKikuyu, Kamba, Somali and Luo
CBaganda, Luo, Kalenjin and Banyoro
DNyamwezi, Makonde, Chagga and Maasai
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Kikuyu, Kamba, Baganda and Nyamwezi
1. East Africa's inhabitants fall into four main language groups, of which the Bantu is one.
2. Kikuyu, Kamba, Baganda and Nyamwezi all belong to the Bantu group.
3. The Maasai, Luo and Kalenjin are Nilotes, not Bantu.
4. The Somali are Cushites, so any list including them is not purely Bantu.
5. Every wrong option here mixes in at least one Nilote or Cushite community, which is exactly what the item tests.
