Concept:
- Each option in this question belongs to a different kind of person, so the quickest route is to name the person each goal fits and then keep the one that matches.
- Development goals can even conflict, because what helps a seller may hurt a buyer.
Step 1: Assign each option to the person it suits.
More days of work and better wages belong to a landless labourer. Prohibition of social discrimination belongs to someone facing discrimination. A higher support price belongs to a farmer who sells a surplus.
Step 2: Ask whether the person in the question sells or works for wages.
A prosperous farmer owns land and markets the produce. Wages are a cost for such a farmer, not an income. So the two wage-related options actually run against that interest.
Step 3: Note how the goals can clash.
A prosperous farmer may want cheap labour at the same time that the labourer wants better wages. The chapter uses exactly this pair to show that development means different things to different people.
Step 4: Settle the answer.
The only goal that raises the income of someone who sells a crop is a higher support price for that crop.
Final Answer: (A) Higher support price for crops
