restate these sentences to follow these instructions: The wording of one or more items in the list is ALWAYS true, which is incorrect. That does not mean, however, that it describes the CURRENT environment in which the industry operates. For example, the statement "lower unemployment typically results in higher disposable income" is true. The problem is that it is nearly ALWAYS true. But that does not mean that the unemployment rate is currently low. In fact, during the COVID-19 crisis, unemployment was at much higher levels than in recent quarters. Statements in the form of "A does so-and-so to B" are not appropriate. Statements in the form of "A is doing so-and-so to B" is better because it states what is currently the state of the environment. Also, try to word everything in present-continuous tense rather than present-perfect tense.
