I want to test the ability of students to read a passage and answer questions about it. Could you please come up with a good question for the passage "About 75% of the population is employed in subsistence agriculture upon Swazi Nation Land (SNL). In contrast with the commercial farms, Swazi Nation Land suffers from low productivity and investment. This dual nature of the Swazi economy, with high productivity in textile manufacturing and in the industrialised agricultural TDLs on the one hand, and declining productivity subsistence agriculture (on SNL) on the other, may well explain the country's overall low growth, high inequality and unemployment."?
Swazi Nation Land is also?
The passage is about the Swazi economy, and how two types of land (SNL and TDL) contribute to its productivity. The SNL has low productivity but most people work on it, whereas the TDLs are high-productivity industrial farms that employ a small number of people.
What type of question would test reading comprehension? One idea is "Swazi Nation Land is also?", where students could be given several options for completing this statement: (a) home to many children; (b) highly productive; or (c) mostly empty.".
