According to the passage, what can be said about the economy after the pandemic?

1. New cases have risen, and economic activity is highly influenced by it.
2. Still 85% below normal, services can get a shot in the arm as herd immunity rises, in part led by vaccine roll-out.
3. Economic activity is racing back to pre-pandemic levels.
4. Both (a) and (c)

Correct answer: Still 85% below normal, services can get a shot in the arm as herd immunity rises, in part led by vaccine roll-out.

Solution

The passage indicates that the economy is still far from normal, though services may improve as herd immunity increases and vaccines roll out. This matches the option stating it is still 85% below normal with a possible boost to services. The other options either exaggerate recovery or mention details not supported by the passage.
