Model Answer

The fall in agricultural prices was greater and more prolonged than in industrial goods. Farmers tried to sell more to compensate, worsening the glut and pushing prices even lower, trapping them in debt with no relief.

Explanation

The examiner expects you to highlight two specific points from the passage: (1) the price fall was sharper and longer for agriculture than industry, and (2) farmers' response (producing more) backfired, deepening the crisis. One crisp sentence covering both earns the mark.
