Answer: The oral tradition was an important method of storytelling to keep African traditions alive in future generations.

Edmentum/Plato multiple choice answer: “It helped pass traditions to younger generations.”

Step-by-step explanation:

Oral tradition is the passing of TRADITIONS by MOUTH. Africans would teach their children about their culture and heritage through telling stories and speaking to them about traditions.

Oral Traditions make it possible for a society to pass knowledge across genera- tions without writing. They help people make sense of the world and are used to teach children and adults about important aspects of their culture. There is a richtradition throughout Africa of oral storytelling.
