Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: Constance thinks 5% unemployment is the right definition for 'full employment.' Brigita disagrees, saying that because jobs are worse now (part-time/no benefits), 5% doesn't count as full employment anymore.
Reasoning: Constance uses inflation as the metric for full employment; Brigita uses the quality and stability of jobs as the metric.
Analysis: Using the 'Agree/Disagree' test, we can see that Constance explicitly says the 5% definition is 'correct.' Brigita explicitly says that 5% 'is not full employment.' Therefore, the core of their disagreement is whether a 5% unemployment rate currently constitutes 'full employment.' Constance would say 'Yes,' and Brigita would say 'No.' Look for an answer choice that captures this specific definitional dispute regarding the 5% threshold.
