But why might your wage also be lower? 0 A, because in bygone eras, economics had not been invented yet O B. because in bygone eras, people were more productive than they are today ° C. because in bygone eras the economy was less productive overall D.no one would believe that you were from the future

Explanation / Answer

1. The right answer is option C. because in the bygone era the economy was less productive overall.
