A. Read the following text arefully.

PRODUCTION

Production in the economic sense is any activity resulting in

goods or services intended for exchange. In addition to
agriculture, mining. manufacturing and fishing, it includes the
services of transportation agencies, of wholesalers and retailers,
and all services of business and professional people, musicians,
entertainers, and so forth. Many services do not enter the ordinary
transactions of the economic system, as it is extremely difficult to
judge their value. Such services are: the work of the housewife in
the home, the work of the gardener who grows some of his own
vegetables and the work of the houscholder who is also a handy
man and does some of his own minor house-repairs. Economists
consider the services of these people as unproductive, as neither
the housewife, nor the gardener receives any fixed payment for
her or his work.
