Explanation:
Pair 1 is incorrectly matched. The Chenchu tribe does not practice shifting cultivation as their primary livelihood. They are primarily a food-gathering tribe residing in the Nallamalai forests. They collect forest products like roots, fruits, tubers, beedi leaf, mohua flower, honey, gum, tamarind, and green leaves, and occasionally work as forest laborers, but mostly rely on their native skills to hunt and gather food.
Pair 2 is correctly matched. The Chenchu language indeed belongs to the Dravidian language family. Many Chenchus also speak Telugu.
Pair 3 is correctly matched. A Chenchu village is known as "Penta" where houses are grouped together based on kinship. Close relatives live nearby and distant ones farther away, with small conjugal families predominating.
Pair 4 is incorrectly matched. Chenchu religious practices are not exclusively animistic with no Hindu influences. While they do worship a number of deities, they have also adopted certain religious practices from Hindus. For ages, the Chenchus have been associated with the famous Srisailam temple (dedicated to Lord Shiva and Devi Brahmaramba) in Andhra Pradesh and enjoy special privileges there.
