Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions
Unemployment is an important index of economic slack and lost output, but it is much
more than that. For the unemployed person, it is often a damaging affront to human
dignity and sometimes a catastrophic blow to family life. Nor is this cost distributed in
proportion to ability to bear it. It falls most heavily on the young, the semiskilled and
unskilled, the black person, the older worker, and underemployed person in a low income
rural area who is denied the option of securing more rewarding urban employment….

The concentrated incidence of unemployment among specific groups in the population

means far greater costs to society that can be measured simply in hours of involuntary
idleness or dollars of income lost. The extra costs include disruption of the careers of
young people, increased juvenile delinquency, and perpetuation of conditions which
breed racial discrimination in employment and otherwise deny equality of opportunity.

There is another and more subtle cost. The social and economic strains of prolonged
underutilization create strong pressures for cost-increasing solutions…. On the side of
labor, prolonged high unemployment leads to “share-the-work” pressures for shorter
hours, intensifies resistance to technological change and to rationalization of work rules.
On the side of business, the weakness of markets leads to attempts to raise prices to cover
high average overhead casts and to pressures for protection against foreign and domestic
competition.

(A) over utilization of capacity
(B) economic slack and lost output

(A) lost incomes

(A) more jobs by having everyone work shorter hours
