In many highland Papua New Guinea patrilineal-patrilocal societies:_________,

1. women are the primary producers of subsistence crops.
2. polygyny decreases household productivity because a man must provide for more than one wife.
3. women govern the public distribution of prestige items.
4. the domestic-public dichotomy is minor or nonexistent.
5. women fear contacts, including sexual intercourse, with men.

Answer 1

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

In Papua New Guinea, whose most important properties – farmland – are handed down via the bloodline and woman line, separately, are patrilineal as well as matrilineal communities.

The roles of women in obtaining, defending and preserving property for the kids differ however between such two cultures. Land is generally held by families who decide how it can be used.

In patrilineal cultures, which comprise about three sections of Papua New Guinea, when it comes to property decisions, a woman rarely speaks out in public because people control the ground and thus make all the choices regarding that territory.
