Question

some chiefs are elected, but the chiefs position is usually ______.
a. elected
b. inherited
c. appointed
d. distributed by lot

please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the options. The question is about the usual way a chief's position is obtained. "Inherited" (option B) is a common traditional way for chief positions, as some tribes or traditional systems pass the chief role through family lines. "Elected" is stated as some cases, not usual. "Appointed" is more formal/organizational, not typical for chiefs. "Distributed by lot" is random, not usual for chief positions. So B is the best fit.

Answer:

B. inherited
