Read the following scenario and answer the three questions that follow.
Churna is a peaceful village, surrounded by thickly forested high hills that isolate it from the rest of the world. Agriculture is the main occupation of the Churna villagers. Moreover, the forests provide seasonal fruits, tubers, medicinal herbs, and other forest produce in abundance. For all material needs not produced locally, the Churna villagers depend on Tendua, a faraway town.
Once a month, the Churna women would arduously trek with the surplus produce to Tendua. In the Tendua market, they convey the virtues of their produce through a beautiful song and dance routine. Reputed for their hard-bargaining skills, they always manage to extract a premium barter from the traders, more than fulfilling all their other material needs.
The head woman of Churna grants exclusive access to the surplus produce to Damdu. However, Damdu’s euphoria dies down when she finds fewer takers for Churna’s produce in Tendua. This trend continues for the next few months.
Which of the following could be the MOST possible reason for Damdu finding fewer takers for Churna’s produce at Tendua?
In the passage it is given that the Churna women conveyed the virtue of their products through dance and song. So this means that the dance and song of the Churna women provided authenticity to the traders. So we can eliminate option B and D. Now even if Damdu could not dance and sing but could convey the authenticity for the Churna products he was selling then he would have found traders for Churna products in Tendua. So this eliminates option A and C. The best possible answer here is option E.
