WHAT DO SALMON fillets, fake eyelashes and animated children’s TV shows all have in common? All these familiar parts of Western daily lives have recently been touched by North Korean labour. In an online shopping world where many consumers hit the "sort by price" button, North Korea’s combination of low-cost and high-skilled labour is irresistible for contractors with a tight bottom line.
The paragraph implies which of the following regarding the impact of consumer behavior?
A) Consumer preferences for low-cost goods influence labor decisions more than ethical considerations do.
B) Online shoppers actively seek products manufactured using North Korean labor for their affordability.
C) Contractors' hiring choices are partly driven by consumers prioritizing low prices.
D) Failing to use North Korean labor often results in significant disadvantages for contractors.
E) Consumers are largely unaware of the labor origins of the products they purchase.
A) The passage doesn't mention ethics or compare it to cost priorities. It only discusses how price sorting affects contractors, so this idea isn't supported.
B) The text states consumers sort by price generally, but never suggests they deliberately seek North Korean products. This overinterprets the information.
C) Correct: The passage directly links consumers 'hitting the sort by price button' (prioritizing low costs) to contractors finding North Korean labor 'irresistible,' showing consumer behavior impacts hiring decisions.
D) The text doesn't discuss disadvantages of avoiding North Korean labor or compare alternatives. This claim lacks evidence.
E) The source never addresses consumer awareness of labor origins, so this adds an unsupported assumption.
The text explains that consumers' focus on low prices makes North Korean labor attractive to contractors. Only option C directly follows from this relationship. The other options introduce ideas beyond the passage, like ethics (A), specific consumer intent (B), unverified consequences (D), or unwarranted claims about awareness (E).
