DOlder children, often five
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Older children, often five
1. Samoan children did not go to school and learnt tasks from older children and adults. 2. Once babies could walk, mothers and other adults stopped looking after them. 3. Older children, often as young as five, took over, so the option naming mothers or teachers fails. _Source: NCERT Class 7 Social and Political Life, Growing up as Boys and Girls, Growing up in Samoa in the 1920s_
