Answer)

1. question given in this part is The crowding of Women,African-Americans and certain other ethnic groups into less-desirable,lower paying occupations is known as what of the given options-We need to look at two things in this question,first there is crowding on basis of gender,race,ethnicity,second is these people are crowded in low paying less desirable occupations,that is there is discrimination and that is based on gender,race,ethnicity,combining these two points we get there is employment discrimination based on gender,race,ethnicity.This is reflected by option (d) Employment discrimination which is the correct answer.  
2. question given in this part is A so called welfare cliff occurs when-Here we will look into what is welfare cliff,welfare cliff is a theory which states that if poor people who are earning welfare benefits owing to their low income/no income move into work which gives them more income such that they reach just above welfare criteria and lose their welfare benefits and are worse off,this is akin to falling of cliff by moving a little higher,this is reflected in option (b) a welfare recipient 's overall income falls if they earn more from work which is the correct option.
3. question given in this part is which of the following would most likely increase income inequality-Out of given four options only option (c) greater monopoly power among product sellers will likely lead to increase in income inequality,reason being person having monopoly will keep higher prices than possible in perfect competition owing to being a monopoly and will fill his/her pockets,while others who have to but that product will have to bear loss and have to pay more(if you note other options they reduce income inequality),thus option (c) greater monopoly power among product sellers is correct option
