Read the passage and answer the question. Behavioural economists have found that people often prefer a smaller reward today over a larger one in the future, even when waiting would clearly make them better off. This tendency, known as present bias, helps explain why many people under-save for retirement. Automatic enrolment in pension schemes, where employees must actively opt out rather than opt in, has been shown to raise participation sharply. Which feature of automatic enrolment, as described in the passage, raises participation?
- It offers employees a larger reward today
- Employees must take action to stay out rather than to join
- It removes present bias from people's minds
- Employees are legally barred from opting out
Show answer & explanation
Answer: B. Employees must take action to stay out rather than to join
The passage says employees 'must actively opt out rather than opt in', so inertia keeps them enrolled.

If a bank holds too little capital, even a modest rise in bad loans can wipe out its equity and threaten depositors. Regulators therefore require banks to hold capital in proportion to the riskiness of their assets, so that riskier lending must be backed by more capital. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
- Banks with more capital never face bad loans
- Regulators prohibit banks from making risky loans
- Depositors are protected only by the government
- A bank that makes riskier loans must hold more capital against them
