A:During the last three decades, the Dominican economy, formerly dependent on the export of agricultural commodities (mainly sugar, cocoa and coffee), has transitioned to a diversified mix of services, manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and trade. The service sector accounts for almost 60% of GDP; manufacturing, for 22%; tourism, telecommunications and finance are the main components of the service sector; each sub-sector alone accounts for more than 10% of the whole. The Dominican Republic has a stock market, Bolsa de Valores de la Republica Dominicana (BVRD). and advanced telecommunication system and transportation infrastructure. High unemployment and income inequality are long-term challenges. International migration affects the Dominican Republic greatly, as it receives and sends large flows of migrants. Mass illegal Haitian immigration and the integration of Dominicans of Haitian descent are major issues. A large Dominican diaspora exists, mostly in the United States, contributes to development, sending billions of dollars to Dominican families in remittances. B:If, in an extreme case, every other economic activity that would be considered part of the service sector was lumped together as "miscellaneous", would this catchall category necessarily end up accounting for more than two thirds of the service sector? Answer: rational

B:Going back to the more reasonable assumption that the passage is saying that tourism accounts for X% of the service sector (meaning that it accounts for 0.6 times X percent of the total economy), would you have to conclude, given what the passage tells us about the size of these sub-sectors, that tourism, telecommunications, and finance combined cannot account for a greater share of the total economy's GDP than mining does?

B:Although the passage seems to be implying that tourism takes up X% of the total GDP that is captured by the service sector, and not X% of the total nation's GDP, if we assume that actually the latter is being implied by the passage, could we calculate that tourism, telecom and finance together could account for more than one third of the entire economy? Answer: trademarks

A:The slaves faced heavy discrimination and had no opportunity for advancement, though they were educated by their masters. The Spaniards considered the Africans superior to the Taíno, since the latter were unwilling to assimilate. The slaves, in contrast, had little choice but to adapt. Many converted to Christianity and were given their masters' surnames. B:At least in the time before European diseases decimated Native populations, would one expect to see more indigenous slaves on Spanish plantations, given Spanish attitudes, than the dark-skinned slaves that are typically pictured?

A:During the last three decades, the Dominican economy, formerly dependent on the export of agricultural commodities (mainly sugar, cocoa and coffee), has transitioned to a diversified mix of services, manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and trade. The service sector makes up the majority of total GDP, at 60%, with manufacturing making up another 22%; within the service sector, the sub-sectors of tourism, telecommunications, and finance are the primary components, but none alone makes up more than 10% of the sector.
