Directions for Questions 1 to 4. Read the given passage and answer the questions by ticking the correct option from the given options marked (a), (b), (c) and (d).
Even in the most primitive societies, the great majority of people satisfy a large part of their material needs by exchanging goods and services. Very few people indeed can make for themselves everything that they need- all their food, their clothes, their housing and their tools. Ever since men started staying in communities, they have been satisfying their needs by specialisation and exchange; increasingly each individual has concentrated on what he can do best and has produced more of the special goods or services in which he has concentrated than he can consume himself. The surplus he has exchanged with other members of the community, acquiring in exchange the things he needs the others have produced.
