Answer 1

Although no options are given, the statement is rightly completed as follows (The missing words are filled in capital letters)… Division of LABOR means focusing human efforts on fewer, more specific tasks such that laborers are capable of turning out much HIGHER quantities and production is more EFFICIENT.

Answer 2

The correct answers are Labor, Higher, and Efficient.

In a division of labor, people don't make all the things but rather smaller things that when put together make the final product. For example, when making a shoe, one person would make the soles, one the laces, and the third person the shoe itself. This makes production much efficient and faster. The goal behind it is to make more products that could then be given to the public. The higher amount of products means higher amount of money earned. Before that, a single person would have to know everything and the process was much slower.<span />
