Question

Economists have found evidence of highly educated workers boosting overall economic growth, and of such workers raising the productivity (and thus wages) of less educated workers who work alongside them.

—"Australia’s ‘five pillar economy’: education," Michael Coelli, April 28, 2015

The author of the text would most likely agree that
A.
the gross domestic product of Australia is unlikely to change.
B.
Australia should spend more money on capital goods.
C.
the unemployment rate in Australia is unlikely to decrease.
D.
Australia should continue to invest in human capital.

Answer 1

D. Australia should continue to invest in human capital.

Reason: the passage says highly educated workers boost economic growth and raise productivity/wages of less-educated coworkers, which supports further investment in education (human capital). The other choices contradict or are unrelated to that point.
