Select the reason behind the low wages paid for agricultural labourers.
Answer: C
The key gives They are not skilled.
Most agricultural labourers do unskilled manual work such as weeding, harvesting and carrying loads. Because the work needs no special training, a very large number of people compete for it, and any one labourer can easily be replaced by another. Without a skill that employers must pay for, labourers have little bargaining power, and their wages stay low.
The other options do not answer the question as the key reads it. Labourers are not satisfied with the prevailing wages; low wages are a hardship forced on them. Having no land of their own explains why they must work for others at all, and depending on landowners for work describes their situation, but the key takes the lack of skill as the reason the wage itself is low.
