Question

Basket weavers migrate to urban areas because:

• A. Deforestation and exploitation of forest resources by big industries have depleted forests.
• B. There is a high demand in urban cities for handwoven baskets.
• C. Reduced demand for handicraft products in the village.
• D. They migrate as they are nomads.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A Deforestation and exploitation of forest resources by big industries have depleted forests.
C Reduced demand for handicraft products in the village.

Deforestation and exploitation of forest resources by big industries have led to the depletion of forests. Due to this, basket makers migrate from the forests. Also, reduced demand for handicraft products in the village force weavers to sell their products in urban settings. Their lives in urban areas are miserable.
