Which of the following can be concluded from the information provided in the excerpt?

  • A.Since the share of industry has increased from 14% to only 29%, large-scale industrialization has not happened.
  • B.Surplus labour force from agriculture was forced to work in the services sector.
  • C.Both of the above
  • D.None of the above

Answer: C

Both of the above can be concluded.

The excerpt contrasts India with developed countries, where large-scale industrialization absorbed surplus farm labour, and notes that in India industry grew only from 14% to 29%. That supports the first statement, that large-scale industrialization has not happened.

It then says that, as a result, 'the surplus labour force was forced to transition to low-paying jobs in the services sector', which is the second statement almost word for word. Since both follow, choosing only one is incomplete and 'None of the above' is wrong.
