A gram sabha is against leasing one acre of the village common for a solar array, several speakers holding that once one acre goes the whole common will go the same way. An answer to which of the following questions would be of most use in judging that objection?

The objection is not that the acre is too dear or too useful but that the first acre must drag the rest after it, and that is a claim about whether the slide can be stopped. A term reserving every further acre to the sabha's own consent is precisely the stop, and asking whether such terms have held elsewhere tests it rather than merely hoping for it. The rent and the number of grazing households bear on whether the lease is a good bargain — a different question, which the sabha would still have to answer if the objection were withdrawn. The identity of the company bears on neither.
