Answer 1

Based on the description you provided, if a businessman tracked the relationship between his time spent at work and his time spent on hobbies, we can assess the implications of spending more time at work.

8. In a week where he works 46 hours, he spends about 8 hours on his hobbies. If we assume that this relationship continues as he works more hours, his hobby time may decrease.

The best selection is - **B. 2 hours**.

9. As his time spent at work increases, his time spent on hobbies likely decreases.

The best selection is - **B. decreases**.

So the completed sentences would read:
8. The best selection is - **B. 2 hours**.
9. The best selection is - **B. decreases**.
