▶ Reading Comprehension ☞ Choose the best answer based on the article. What Causes Famine? Amartya Sen, a specialist in the theory of economic welfare and the practice problems of starvation and famine, is the winner of 1998 Nobel Prize in Economic Science. Born in Bengal, in India in 1933, Sen taught at Trinity College and Cambridge University in the U.K. Sen studied the cause of famine. He found that famine often occurs even when there is no overall shortage of food. Some population groups experience starvation, while others have adequate food supplies. There are also cases in which some regions experiencing famine and starvation export food to other nonfamine areas. According to Sen, famine is not a simple matter of too much population or not enough food. It is an imbalance between what food costs and what hungry people can afford to pay. The case of Bangladesh famine in 1974 occurred since the incomes of rural workers fell due to flooding when food prices went up simultaneously. Families had less income, but famine would not have occurred if the food prices had remained the same. Also, even though the price of food went up, that would not have caused famine if people had had their normal level of incomes. Indeed, urban workers who did not experience falling incomes due to the floods were able to have food despite soaring prices. In sum, it wasn’t the high price of food, nor the low incomes of farm workers that caused famine. It was the combination of lower incomes and higher food prices that created the human disaster of famine in Bangladesh in Sen’s analysis has many implications regarding the cause of famine. One of them is that famine cannot be prevented just by keeping food prices down. It is also important to pay attention to the distribution of income among rural poor groups TOEFL Reading 22.

Research by Sen tells us that _____ ① it is important to keep food prices low, so we can reduce the risk of famine. ② it is important to be aware of the distribution of income among poor rural communities in order to reduce the risk of famine. ③ it is important that cultures control their population to avoid having too many people in an area that cannot supply enough food. ④ famine has many causes, and more research is needed to draw any appropriate conclusions.
