Question

The author of the passage mentions which of the following as one disadvantage of the United States government's definition of services?

• A. It is less useful than the other definitions mentioned in the passage.
• B. It is narrower in scope than the other definitions mentioned in the passage.
• C. It is based on the final product produced rather than on the type of work performed.
• D. It does not recognize the diversity of occupations within the service industries.
• E. It misclassifies many workers who are employed in service industries.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

It is based on the final product produced rather than on the type of work performed.

Option C is the right answer because it is clearly illustrated in the second paragraph of the passsage that - 'However, besides lacking a strong conceptual framework, this definition fails to recognize the distinction between service industries and service occupations.

It categorizes workers based on their company's final product rather than on the actual work the employees perform.'

There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Options A, B, D, and E are the right answers.

Hence, these are incorrect.
