Re: MCQ for Economics Paper 1 2005 May/June Q 23
The correct answer is C because there is an increase in the % of people employed in service or tertiary sector. It has increased by 6 %
A is not the correct answer because although the percentage is higher in primary sector, the actual number of workers who became unemployed can be lesser. Suppose there were 100 workers in primary sector but 1000 workers in secondary sector,
the primary sector lost only 4 workers but the secondary sector lost 20.

Re: MCQ Economics Paper 1 October/N Q 29
lets cancel out each options one by one,
B- a deficit in current account means an increase in demand for imports & thus foreign currencies. this will cause a fall in demand of pound
C- this will also cause a fall in demand of pound
D- this will increase the supply of pound
A- a large flow of capital is the only one here that increases the demand if pound and causes appreciation.
I recommend u read the causes of appreciation and depreciation of currencies.
