Question

Answer 1

No, excerpt, However,
The five year plan policies of rapid industrialization and collectivization contributed to the famine that bedeviled the country,leading to the death of ten of millions of people. Collectivization for example led to peasants cutting their production, with some refusing to work.

Answer 2

Answer: C. The collectivization of agriculture was an overall failure; the collective farms produced meager crops and could not meet their increased demands, thus resulting in famine.
