Question : 104 of 155

Marks: +1, -0

Direction: In this question, a paragraph with a blank space indicated by (______) is given. The blank space stands for a sentence which fits contextually but presently hidden. From the given alternatives, find the sentence which is/are perfect to fit in terms of grammar as well as the context in the blank space of the paragraph.

Work smarter, not harder: It is one of the more irritating things a book can tell you. But at the macroeconomic level, it is important. Growth can come from having more labour (recruiting more workers, or making existing employees work for longer hours), more capital, or by using that labour and capital more effectively- something known as total factor productivity (TFP). This can come from the kind of brilliant innovations devised by Thomas Edison. (______)

This shows that at the global level, total factor productivity fell last year, was flat the two years before, and has barely budged since 2007.
It could also come from the less-heralded but equally important improvements such as the adoption of the moving conveyor belt to speed up assembly work.
Whatever the reason, economic growth did not rebound until productivity perked up
A recovery has been underway for a while.
Others might counter that the full benefits of new technology are not reflected in the data
