Question

Why are agricultural labourers forced to accept low wages?

• A. Because they are pushed to work by the landlord.
• B. They can be replaced by any other labour, ready for lesser pay.
• C. They don't have a stable source of income.
• D. They don't have any problem with less pay.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B They can be replaced by any other labour, ready for lesser pay.
C They don't have a stable source of income.

Agricultural labourers are very poor, and unable to make two meals a day without farming work. People sometimes manage other income source but even that doesn't give them enough money. If they ask the landlord for a hike (increase in pay), they can be replaced and they are never forced by the landlord to work but it is their own choice to work under the landlords.
