{'cotton yarn': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'black cotton soil': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'tamil nadu': [3, 0, 1, 1], 'soil': [7, 0, 4, 7], 'correct reasons': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'skilled labour': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'predominant type': [0, 0, 2, 0]}
The correct reason for Tamil Nadu being a leading producer of mill-made cotton yarn in the country is 2 only, i.e. a rich pool of skilled labour is available. The state has a long history of textile production and has developed a skilled workforce in this sector over time. The availability of skilled labour has also attracted investments in the textile industry. The predominant type of soil in the state is not a significant factor in cotton yarn production.
