- AThe traders who returned to the centre should be fined, and the fine raised each time they return
- BThe cattle market should be brought back to the centre and kept there
- CThe new ground should be exchanged for one five kilometres out, where more land is to be had
- DWater, shade and a bus stop should be provided at the new ground, so that buyers have reason to go there, and the shift enforced once they are in place
Step-by-Step Solution
The statement gives the reason the traders came back: their buyers are not at the new ground, and the new ground has neither water, shade nor a bus within a kilometre. A course that follows must supply what is missing, after which the traders have no reason to return. Fining them punishes a trader for going where his buyers are and leaves the ground as unusable as before. Bringing the market back abandons whatever the shift was for without testing it. Moving it further out makes every one of the three difficulties worse.
Answer: D) Water, shade and a bus stop should be provided at the new ground, so that buyers have reason to go there, and the shift enforced once they are in place
