    The correct answers are b) and c).

    • Workers were organized into large communes in cities and countrysides. Most communes contained around 5.000 families, people in a commune abandoned their traditional sense of material belongings, everything was then owned by the commune. Schools, health care and elderly houses were provided by the commune so that workers only have to worry about the objectives of their commune.

    • Workers were forced to comply with rules through torture and abuse. In 1959 political decisions interfered with what communes were really capable of doing. When commune leaders reacted to the impossible tasks they were meant to do, party officials would threatened them to take them to jail. A crucial aspect was that the harvest of 1960 was terrible and it was believed than more than 9 million people died starved to death, between 1959 and 1962 it is thought that 20 million people died of starvation.
