Question

In modern society, what do we mean when we refer to the division of labor?

A. The ways construction jobs are organized
B. Splitting work equally between two people
C. The specialization of jobs in the medical field
D. All the jobs people do are connected to other jobs.

Answer 1

In modern society, division of labor refers to all the jobs people do are connected to other jobs.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. All the jobs people do are connected to other jobs.
If you are not sure about this, just use the system of elimination. A is incorrect because the division of labor doesn't refer only to construction jobs; B is incorrect because work can be split among more than two people; C is incorrect for the same reason as A - it doesn't have to be the medical field only. This leaves us with D as the correct answer - division of labor refers to jobs that are closely connected.
