Solution

failed
failed

The answer is the first one: it allows workers to focus on a particular job and focus on the parts of the production process in which they have an advantage.

Explanation for each option:

  1. It allows workers to focus on a particular job and focus on the parts of the production process in which they have an advantage.

    • This is correct. Labor specialization enables workers to concentrate on specific tasks where they have skills or advantages, leading to increased efficiency and productivity. By focusing on a particular job, workers can become more proficient and produce higher quality work.
  2. Workers who can try a number of different tasks will be able to determine what task they excel at and prefer.

    • This is incorrect in the context of labor specialization. While trying different tasks can help workers identify their strengths, labor specialization typically involves focusing on a specific task rather than experimenting with multiple ones.
  3. Workers are more productive when working on a range of tasks.

    • This is incorrect. Labor specialization suggests that productivity increases when workers focus on a specific task rather than a range of tasks. Specialization allows workers to develop expertise and efficiency in a particular area.
  4. Workers develop a broader skill set.

    • This is incorrect. Labor specialization usually results in workers developing deep expertise in a narrow area rather than a broad skill set. While this can lead to high productivity in specific tasks, it does not necessarily contribute to a wider range of skills.
