Model Answer

A person can earn a living through the following ways:

  1. Employment/Job – By working for an organization or individual in exchange for salary or wages.
  2. Business – By running one's own business to earn profit.
  3. Investment – By investing savings in assets such as real estate, gold, shares, bonds, or fixed deposits to earn returns.
Explanation

The source passages focus mainly on investment as a way to earn returns on savings. For a 2-mark question, mention 2–3 distinct ways clearly. Examiners expect concise, labelled points. Since the passage highlights investment specifically, include it as a key point alongside employment and business for a complete answer.
