Question

Which of the statements describe the lives of basket weavers?

• A. Due to deforestation, basket weavers find it hard to procure raw materials.
• B. They migrate to bigger cities as the demand for their products are high.
• C. Urban slums do no have basic facilities for living.
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The basket makers depend on the forest for sourcing raw materials. Depletion of forests by big industries makes their life difficult. Due to the reduction in demand for baskets in villages, the basket makers migrate to the urban areas. Because of lack of money, these basket makers stay in slums. The slums are very unhygienic and lack basic amenities like electricity and safe drinking water.
