This is for quant section: I have been facing an issue. In a test of duration 1 hour I seem to attempt only 5 to 6 questions in the first 20 to 30 minutes and race up to a total of 20-25 questions in the remaining time. This has been happening for a long time. The accuracy does not take a hit but it seems like a bad thing not to address this issue. If anyone has anything to share, please do.
Someone please help me with this question.
RC:
In August 1348 the bubonic plague, or Black Death, suddenly appeared
in England. Its germs were carried by the fleas on black rats that came
into the country on ships from abroad. The first outbreak of the plague
was of intense ferocity, for the people had no immunity and persons
living close to the margin of subsistence fell victims to the disease.
Returning in 1361, the plague caused high mortality among children
born since 1348; there were other visitations in 1368 and 1375. High
farming in the thirteenth century had been based on the scarcity of
land, a large population, and a great demand for food—conditions that
had forced the peasants to remain on their holdings and to accept the
burdens of serfdom. But when the demand for food was less, the profits
of agriculture shrank. High farming, which had already been slipping
before 1348, came to an end.
The startling fact about those figures is the amazing drop in
population between 1348 and 1377. It may be the number of people in
overcrowded England already was beginning to decline before the
coming of the Black Death. There were floods and famines in the years
between 1315 and 1317. Certainly the plague caused a high mortality.
In some monasteries the monks all but disappeared (it is thought that
half the clergy in England fell victims to the pestilence). The Black Death
had its most striking effect on the rural economy. The balance between
the number of labourers and the amount of land under cultivation and
the relations between lord and peasant were quickly altered. There were
deserted villages and many unoccupied peasant holdings. After the first
visitation widows and widowers remarried quickly and produced as
many children as before; but because of the high mortality among
young people this population increase was not maintained later in the
century.
The work of the manor could not be performed by the villeins who
had survived the plague; the lord had to employ casual labor at wages
that doubled within a decade. Moreover, a villein, once tied to his
holding by economic necessity, could easily run away to another manor
where employment would be offered to him with no questions asked.
Landowners complained bitterly of the labour shortage and of the
wages they had to pay. In 1351 they obtained the Statute of Laborers,
which fixed wages at the rates before the plague, declared that all
landless men must accept work when it was offered to them, and
prohibited peasants from moving from one manor to another. For a time
the statute had some effect, but in the long run it was useless, for
wages continued to rise and employers had to pay them. There was also
a scarcity of tenants. Few manors were without vacant holdings; hence
the yield was less and income from the land declined. Agricultural
products no longer fetched high prices. Yet the cost of luxuries and of
manufactured goods was rising.
Thereafter the plague subsided in the rural areas but remained endemic
in London and other towns, where it could become active at any time
and could spread along lines of communication into the country. It
remained in England for more than 300 years.
Ques.:-
Which of the following claims would, if true, most substantially weaken the
author‘s claim that the plague brought an end to the practice of high
farming?
A. The practice of high farming was reinforced after the floods and
famines in the 1310s reduced the amount of arable land.
B. Immediately following the plague, the profits of agriculture would see
a rebound due to the stabilization in wages and food prices.
C. The numbers of peasants working on English farms decreased
throughout much of the years of plague.
D. The Statute of Laborers began to be strictly enforced when it became
apparent that wages were still rising.
E. Over the next few years following the plague, the incomes of
agriculturists kept falling lower and lower.
