The 'year of Great Divide' refers to

  • A.The slow down in death rate after 1921
  • B.Rapid growth rate in population after 1921
  • C.The declining sex ratio after 1921
  • D.All the above

Answer: B

It refers to the rapid growth of population after 1921.

Before 1921 population rose and fell with famine and epidemic; 1911-21 was the only decade of the century to show a fall, because of the influenza pandemic. After 1921 the death rate declined steadily while the birth rate did not, so growth became continuous.
