HELP PLEASE!!!!!! You have been asked to suggest ways to improve the economy of a small island nation. There is a thriving tourist industry already, with plenty of hotels, restaurants, and other attractions. When you suggest establishing more manufacturing, the president is concerned that factories will discourage tourism. Nearly 75 percent of the workforce is having some type of service job, which means that many of the nation's citizens wouldn't be qualified to work in the modern plants you suggest. He fears disruptions to the economy. To make the proposal more compelling, which of the following arguments might be the most persuasive?

For every 80 service employees, there should be no more than 20 manufacturing employees.
For every dollar of manufacturing sales, the gross national product will increase $1.25.
For every 6 existing hotel or casino, you will build 1 factory.
For every 20 manufacturing workers, you will outsource 5 jobs.

B is the correct answer. If the GNP goes up more than the revenue generated by manufacturing that is a very powerful argument for the investment
