Answer 1

The following statements can accurately be used within a paragraph comparing and contrasting the careers of economists and anthropologists:

1. Economists study resources and goods, while anthropologists study human beings.
2. Anthropologists spend a great deal of time working in the field; however, economists work primarily in office settings.
3. The median yearly pay for an anthropologist in 2010 was $54,230, while the median yearly pay for an economist in 2010 was $89,450.

The other two statements are inaccurate: economists are typically required to have an advanced degree, which can include a bachelor's degree for some jobs, and frequent travel is mentioned for anthropologists but is not indicated for economists.
