Passage - 2
There is a claim that organic farming is inherently safer and healthier. The reality is that because the organic farming industry is still young and not well-regulated in India, farmers and consumers, alike, are not only confused about what products are best for them, but sometimes use products in ways that could harm them as well. For example, since organic fertilizers are difficult to obtain on a large scale in India, farmers often use farmyard manure, which may contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals. Certain plant sprays, such as Datura flower and leaf spray, have an element called atropine. If it is not applied in the right dose, it can act on the nervous system of the consumer. Unfortunately, how much and when to use it are not well-researched or regulated issues.

Based on the above passage, the following assumptions have been made :
1. Organic farming is inherently unsafe for both farmers and consumers.
2. Farmers and consumers need to be educated about eco-friendly food.

Which of the assumptions given above is/are correct ?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: 2 only Let us evaluate the assumptions based on Passage 2: Assumption 1: 'Organic farming is inherently unsafe for both farmers and consumers.' The passage states that there is a claim organic farming is inherently safer and healthier, but due to lack of regulation and research in India, people sometimes use products improperly (like farmyard manure with heavy metals or improper Datura spray doses). It does *not* state that organic farming is *inherently* unsafe; rather, the *current practices and lack of regulation* in India cause risks. Hence, Assumption 1 is invalid. Assumption 2: 'Farmers and consumers need to be educated about eco-friendly food.' The passage explicitly states that farmers and consumers are confused, lack research, and use products in ways that could harm them due to lack of regulation and knowledge. This directly implies a need for awareness, guidance, and education. Hence, Assumption 2 is valid. Therefore, only assumption 2 is correct. Option (b) is correct.
