Model Answer

The Corn Laws were repealed because industrialists and urban dwellers were unhappy with high food prices caused by restricted grain imports, and they pressurised the government to abolish these laws.

Source: Chapter 3, Section 2.1

Explanation

The examiner wants one specific reason: public/industrial pressure due to high food prices. Mention that the Corn Laws restricted food imports, driving up prices, and that industrialists and urban dwellers forced their abolition. One clear sentence is enough for 1 mark.
