Why can middle-class participation in the Non-Cooperation Movement be seen as limited?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because some boycotts were difficult to sustain for long
Middle-class groups such as students, teachers, lawyers and merchants participated actively at the beginning, so it is incorrect to say that they never joined. However, boycotting institutions and foreign cloth created practical and economic difficulties. Alternative schools and colleges were not available everywhere, and khadi could cost more than imported or mill-produced cloth. Thus participation weakened in some urban areas, making option A correct. The other choices either deny participation or state the opposite of the evidence.
