Solution

The correct option is D Government compensated the farmers whose crops were damaged by floods.
Government is criticised when it increases the petrol price or when it delays support to the flood victims or when it lags planning ample water supply to the city. On the other hand, government can be praised for supplying compensation on crop damage as it support the family of farmers and boosts the farmers to continue growing the crops irrespective of any natural disaster.

Q. Your friend Umakant hails from a village whose surrounding areas were submerged due to floods during the monsoon last year. Government assisted the affected people by giving them cash doles to purchase household effects, seeds to replant crop and cash to compensate for loss of standing crop. Umakant had his house site on high ground and suffered no loss of personal effects. Luckily, his agricultural land being relatively far away from the flooded river escaped the ravages of the flood. Normally, government machinery is unable to thoroughly assess the damage suffered by each individual family. As a result, people take advantage by making extravagant and often fictitious claims. Umakant has made false claims like others in the village.
