Question

Which of the following industries does not involve the extraction or production of raw materials or products from the earth?

Select the best answer choice.
Construction
Oil and Gas Extraction
Mining
Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing

Answer 1

Construction.

In mining, workers take whatever ore is their job from the earth.
In agriculture, we're obviously taking supplies from the ground.
In the Oil industry, we drill for the oil.

When it comes to construction, we're creating something(though materials are generally taken from the earth, but the idea itself is that we're building, not destroying)
