Discussion
Choose the correct crop based on the statements given below :
A. It grows well on alluvial soil.
B. It requires high temperature to grow well.
C. It requires heavy rainfall and humid climate.
D. Bangladesh is one of the leading producers of this crop.
Answer: B
The crop is jute.
The four statements are the textbook description of jute: it grows well on alluvial soil, needs high temperature and heavy rainfall with a humid climate, and India and Bangladesh are the leading producers, Bangladesh being second only to India in the world. Jute is called the golden fibre and is grown mainly in the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta.
Rice shares many of these needs and Bangladesh grows a great deal of it, but the paper's statements follow the textbook account of jute, in which Bangladesh is singled out as a leading producer, and the key takes that reading. Wheat needs moderate temperature and rainfall, and maize needs moderate temperature and well-drained soil, so neither fits the heavy rainfall and humidity in C.
