1. Financial assistance from the government does not always go to the farmers who most need it. Keywords: financial assistance from the government

This is a difficult question since you have to know that “state subsidies” refers to “financialassistance from the government”. And this phrase lies in paragraph E. In this paragraph, theauthor mentions Rokeya Kabir as she claims that these state subsidies ‘have not compensatedfor the stranglehold exercised by private traders”. To make it more clear, the authorwrites:“sixty percent of beneficiaries of subsidies are not poor, but rich landowners and non-farmertraders.” (when the subsidies go to some people, those people are called beneficiaries. Andthe writer claims some are

non-farmers). Therefore, this information is matched with RokeyaKabir. The answer is D.

• 
  State subsidies = financial assistance from the government.

Therefore, the answer is C – Shenggen Fan.
