Answer 1

1.

Low income elasticity means that as the income of the consumer rises, the demand for food rises by a lesser rate than the rise in income.

In other words, as the person's income increases by 1 unit, she will spend lesser than a unit of her income on food consumption.

Now this doesn't have anything to do with the agricultural employment share.

So option d is the answer.

2.

Note that options b, c , d and e are all the various features of the American manufacturing system.

Hence, option a is the answer because it has no relation with the manufacturing system in America.
