Answer the questions based on the following information.
Tom: The unemployment rate has dropped below five percent, and that is good news for America. A lower unemployment rate is better for almost everyone.
Shelly: Actually, a low unemployment rate is good for most workers but not for everyone. Workers are certainly happy to have jobs, but many businesses are negatively affected by a low unemployment rate because they have fewer applicants for jobs, and to expand their workforce, they have to hire workers they would not usually hire. The wealthiest Americans also privately complain about the inability to get good gardeners, housecleaners, and nannies when most Americans are already employed. So a low unemployment rate is not, in fact, good for America.

Q1)Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument that a low unemployment rate is bad for business?

(3)Higher unemployment generally means higher enrollment levels in college and graduate school.
(4)Inflation can increase with low unemployment, making capital more expensive for any business seeking to expand.

(3)Wealthy Americans rarely employ other Americans to clean their houses or as nannies for their children.
(4)Business owners always want what is best for their workers even when it negatively impacts the bottom line.
(5)Low unemployment hurts some workers because they would prefer to stay at home and collect unemployment checks.
