Question 96.A passage is given with 5 questions following it. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and
click the button corresponding to it.

Settled life and cultivation gave man leisure; he had no longer to always think of getting food. During spare time he could make stone tools, hoes or pots and weave
cloth. Some people spared from producing their own food could even devote themselves to other activities all the time. This resulted in a division of labour. The
division of labour made it possible for various groups to specialize, that is, to acquire greater skill and learn better techniques in doing one kind of work.

The settled community life needed rules to regulate the behaviour of the members of the community. It is not possible to know exactly how regulations were
established. It appears that the decisions regarding the community were taken by the people as a whole, or by a council of elders, as is in the practice in tribal
societies. There were perhaps no kings or any organized government. Most likely, there were chiefs elected by the community for their qualities of leadership. But,
these chiefs could not pass their positions on to their sons and they enjoyed few special privileges. Archaeological excavations have not revealed anything which
would indicate the prevalence of a higher status for some members of the community. This is also supported by the study of life in many tribes in modern times.
Thus, social inequalities do not seem to have emerged even in Neolithic times.
