Answer 1

Answer:

C. Do, work

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is 'c. do, work.'

These days, people who do manual work, often receive far more money than clerks who work in offices.

• In this exercise, we need to choose the correct tense from the given options.

• 'Have done ' and 'have worked' indicate the people who have finished their work in manual labor and offices. However, the sentence speaks about the people who are working at present. Thus, option a is not the answer.

• The sentence is in the present tense but option b is in the past continuous tense. Thus, it will also not be the answer.

• The given statement speaks about the general trend in income. It does not specify the people who are working right now. Thus, option d is not the answer.
