Line In 1988 services moved ahead of

manufacturing as the main product of the United
States economy. But what is meant by "services"?
Some economists define a service as something

(5)that is produced and consumed simultaneously, for
example, a haircut. The broader, classical definition
is that a service is an intangible something that
cannot be touched or stored. Yet electric utilities
can store energy, and computer programmers

(10) save information electronically. Thus, the classical
definition is hard to sustain.

The United States government's definition is
more practical: services are the residual category
that includes everything that is not agriculture or

(15) industry. Under this definition, services includes
activities as diverse as engineering and driving a
bus. However, besides lacking a strong conceptual
framework, this definition fails to recognize the
distinction between service industries and service

(20) occupations. It categorizes workers based on their
company's final product rather than on the actual
work the employees perform. Thus, the many
service workers employed by manufacturers—
bookkeepers or janitors, for example—would

(25) fall under the industrial rather than the services
category. Such ambiguities reveal the arbitrariness
of this definition and suggest that, although
practical for government purposes, it does not
accurately reflect the composition of the current

(30) United States economy.


33.The passage suggests which of the following about
service workers in the United States?



(A)The number of service workers may be
underestimated by the definition of services
used by the government.

(B)There were fewer service workers than
agricultural workers before 1988.

(C)The number of service workers was almost
equal to the number of workers employed in
manufacturing until 1988.

(D)Most service workers are employed in service
occupations rather than in service industries.

(E)Most service workers are employed in
occupations where they provide services that do
not fall under the classical definition of services.



我的问题是：D说很多service worker做的是service 职业，却不在service 这个产业中，没错啊。简直就是论点的照抄。为什么OG答案说，原文没提这事？请教大家~~



补充：我觉得service workers 出现在论据的部分。它支持的论点是“However, besides lacking a strong conceptual
framework, this definition fails to recognize the
distinction between service industries and service

(20) occupations. ”所以和D的说法一致。

DE差不多意思，错在选项里面的"most"
