General Studies · Passage Based Inference
Read the following passage carefully and answer the question that follows: State X has become the nation's leading producer of rice, surpassing all other states by a significant margin. Agricultural economists attribute this success to the state's unique geographical profile, which includes vast, fertile river deltas and a long, consistent monsoon season that brings high rainfall. While other states have similar potential, State X also heavily invests in its irrigation infrastructure, ensuring a steady supply of water even during drier periods. Additionally, State X has consistently promoted a single, high-yield rice variety across its farming communities, a strategy that has a proven track record of high output. Which of the following can be most reasonably inferred from the passage?
- 1State X's dominance in rice production is a result of its favorable climate and strategic state-level agricultural policies.✓
- 2State X's government is likely to be a major exporter of rice, given its massive domestic production.
- 3Farmers in State X are facing economic hardship due to over-reliance on a single, high-yield variety, making them vulnerable to disease.
- 4The high-yield variety of rice promoted in State X is also being adopted in other states to increase production.
Correct answer
State X's dominance in rice production is a result of its favorable climate and strategic state-level agricultural policies.
