Answer 2

well, if you push a Piano towards a chair, you're working harder
now, if you just push the chair over to the Piano, that gets the same result, just faster
just because you were working harder, you weren't necessarily productive
no dice on A

hiring 5 people to sweep a porch is not more productive than hiring 1
hiring 5, will simply make them bump against one another
not necessarily more productive per se
no dice on C

productivity is (how many units)/(for how long)
well, you can have many units in say 1hr, but crummy ones
that noone may buy them, so.. .not too productive either
no dice on D
