Correct Answer: belongings


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

In the context of people moving from one place to another, the term belongings refers to the things that they own or possess, which they take with them. It makes sense in the context of the Maasais moving their possessions when they leave the Manyatta.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "Then they move on again, taking their few belongings with them, and burning the old Manyatta to the ground."
