AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
The service sector cannot be treated as uniformly growing because it contains two very different groups. At one end are highly skilled, educated workers in fast-growing services like IT. At the other end are small shopkeepers, repair persons, and transport workers who barely earn a living and work in these jobs only because no alternative employment is available to them.
Source: Chapter 2, "Rising Importance of the Tertiary Sector in Production"
The examiner wants students to highlight the internal inequality within the tertiary sector — not just that it's large, but that growth is uneven. The key contrast is between high-skill/high-growth services and low-income survival-based services. Quote or paraphrase the textbook line: "not all of the service sector is growing equally well" — this signals you've read the chapter carefully. Avoid vague statements like "the sector is diverse"; be specific about the two ends described in the text.
