Question

Which of the following was not part of the experience of the sent-down youth in China?

a. many were allowed to visit their families for only a few weeks every three years.
b. marriage and childbearing were significantly delayed.
c. most started out on the upper end of the occupational ladder.
d. they were more likely to go to college and eventually had higher incomes.

Answer 1

It is most likely C because Option c is not true for most sent-down youth, as many started out at the bottom of the occupational ladder in rural areas and had to perform manual labor in fields or factories. They often had limited training and resources, with little hope of upward mobility.
