Statement: Should shifting agriculture be practised?
Arguments:
- No. It is a wasteful practice.
- Yes. Modern methods of farming are too expensive.
Answer: Option A
Clearly, shifting agriculture is a practice in which a certain crop is grown on a land and when it becomes infertile it is left bare and another piece of land is chosen. Clearly, it is a wasteful practice. So, only argument I holds.
