Read the excerpt below and answer the question that follows.
In the evening, before retiring to bed, they would bury the remaining hot coals under a mountain of ash in the fireplace. The next morning, the smoldering coals would be exhumed and skillfully blown to light a bunch of skinny twigs. Once flaming, the twigs would restart the main fire using bigger chunks of wood. If, for some reason, the coals had died out during the night, the mother would send the kid to a neighbor to fetch hot coals. The fire was used to prepare meals for the rest of the day, and also served as the gathering point for the family during meal times and in the evening before welcoming the night.
Qn. During what era is the scenario above likely to have taken place?
