Social Science (087) — AI-generated practice question

(i) Primary Sector — A fisherman catches fish directly from the sea, which is a natural resource. Since the activity involves exploiting nature to obtain a natural product, it belongs to the primary sector.

(ii) Secondary Sector — A carpenter uses timber (a natural product) and manufactures furniture through a process of making/crafting. Since a natural product is converted into another form, it is a secondary/industrial sector activity.

(iii) Tertiary Sector — A truck driver transports goods from a factory to a market. This activity does not produce any good but provides a support service to production and trade, so it belongs to the tertiary/service sector.

• Examiners want sector name + one clear reason for each part — that's 1 mark each.
• The key logic: Primary = natural resources directly used; Secondary = natural product transformed through manufacturing; Tertiary = services that support primary/secondary (no good produced).
• Don't just name the sector; always link the reason to the defining criterion ("nature of activity").
