Look at who has the power in each culture. Look at what is valued in each culture.

How are the cultures similar?

Answer 3

Ok read it but there is no comparison of the 2 cultures.

Answer 4

No, it doesn't. You need to take what you know about patrilineal culture and compare it with what you've read about a matrilineal culture.
