Question

1. why did larger farmers benefit more than small farmers during the green revolution?

they lived closer to the cities and a large labor force
they had better soil naturally due to volcanic activity
they grew crops only for themselves
they had more land and money to buy modern tools and chemicals

Explanation:

The Green Revolution involved modern agricultural technologies like new seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and machinery. Larger farmers had more land and financial resources to invest in these modern tools and chemicals, which small farmers often couldn't afford. The other options are incorrect: living close to cities/labor force isn't the main reason, soil quality due to volcanic activity isn't a general reason for larger farmers, and growing only for themselves (subsistence farming) is typical of small farmers, not a benefit - related factor.

Answer:

The correct option is: They had more land and money to buy modern tools and chemicals
