#1 wrong #2 right
1. The correct answer is A. expertise. To identify the requirement of all service sector occupations, we can analyze each option. B. transportation may be necessary for certain service jobs like delivery drivers or taxi drivers, but it is not a requirement for all service sector occupations. C. haste refers to quickness or urgency, which may not be applicable to all service jobs. D. enthusiasm is a desirable trait in any job, but it is not a specific requirement for all service sector occupations. On the other hand, A. expertise is a crucial requirement for all service sector occupations. Service jobs often require specialized knowledge, skills, and experience to perform the tasks and responsibilities involved.
2. The correct answer is B. Boom-and-Bust. To determine the period of great profits followed by sharp declines, we can evaluate the given options. A. Oil Embargo refers to a restriction on the supply of oil by a group of exporting countries, which is not relevant to the given context. C. Great Depression refers to the severe worldwide economic depression that happened in the 1930s, and it is not specific to the oil industry in Texas in 1983. D. New Deal refers to a series of laws and programs enacted to address the economic crisis of the Great Depression, which is also not applicable given the context. The most appropriate term to describe the situation in this case is B. Boom-and-Bust, as it captures the pattern of rapid growth followed by a sudden decline in the oil industry that resulted in job losses for many Texans.
