A producer's primary job is:
a) making goods and providing services.
b) trading goods and services
c) selling goods and services
d) buying goods and services
Is it c?
My textbook says that producers are the people that make and sell products, so I can't decide between a and c.
Yes. A. is correct.
Yes, you are correct. The primary job of a producer is to sell goods and services, so option c) is the correct answer.
To reach this answer, we can eliminate options a), b), and d) because they do not accurately describe the role of a producer.
Option a) "making goods and providing services" is partially correct as producers do make or create goods and provide services, but it does not capture the essence of their primary purpose, which is selling these goods and services.
Option b) "trading goods and services" refers more specifically to the role of a trader or a middleman who buys and sells goods and services on behalf of others. While producers may engage in trading at times, it is not their primary job.
Option d) "buying goods and services" is not accurate because producers do not primarily focus on buying goods and services. Instead, they create or manufacture goods and services in order to sell them.
Therefore, the most accurate answer is option c) "selling goods and services."
