What is generally not true of shifting cultivation ?

  • A.Rotation of field.
  • B.Absence of draught animals.
  • C.More often than not the homestead are not shifted.
  • D.It is a great catalytic force for community life.

Answer: C

The statement that is generally not true of shifting cultivation is that the homesteads are more often than not not shifted. In shifting cultivation the people clear a patch, farm it for a few years and then move to another patch, and the homestead moves along with the fields.

The rotation of fields and the absence of draught animals are true of this system, and it fosters community life since the whole village clears and farms land together. So the third statement is the one that is not true.
