Correct choices: shortage of consumer goods; waste and inefficiency; use of enslaved laborers.
Brief reasons:
- Shortage of consumer goods: resources were funneled into heavy industry, leaving shortages of food, clothing and household items for ordinary people.
- Waste and inefficiency: unrealistic targets, poor planning, and low-skilled management led to misallocation, shoddy construction and production inefficiencies.
- Use of enslaved laborers: large projects relied on forced labor from the Gulag and deported populations, causing great human suffering and loss of life.
