Analyze the question We need to identify which people work in secondary production, which means turning raw materials into finished or semi-finished goods (manufacturing and construction).

Concept: Stages of production

• Primary production: extracting raw materials from nature (farming, fishing, mining, forestry).
• Secondary production: processing and manufacturing, including construction and assembly.
• Tertiary production: services (banking, accounting, transport, entertainment, teaching).

Step-by-step solution

• I. Bricklayer: builds structures from bricks and mortar. Building and construction count as secondary production, so yes.
• II. Automobile assembly-line worker: assembles parts into finished vehicles. This is manufacturing, so yes.
• III. Accountant: provides a professional service, which is tertiary production, so no.
• IV. Cinema projectionist: provides entertainment, which is a service and so tertiary, so no.

Only I and II are engaged in secondary production.

Answer: B (I, II)

Exam tip: Ask yourself, "Is this person making or building something physical?" If yes, it is secondary. If they take from the earth, it is primary. If they serve others, it is tertiary. Remember the order as Extract, Make, Serve.
