For poor farmers machines brought misery because of _________.

• A. Displacement
• B. Banks refused loans
• C. Banks gave loans
• D. Indebtedness

Answer 1

The correct option is D Indebtedness

For the poorer farmers, machines brought misery. Many of them bought these machines, imagining that wheat prices would remain high and profits would flow in. If they had no money, the banks offered loans. Those who borrowed found it difficult to pay back their debts. Many of them deserted their farms and looked for jobs elsewhere.
