Read the excerpt from Utopia by Sir Thomas More.

Consider how few of those that work are employed in labours that are of real service, for we, who measure all things by money, give rise to many trades that are both vain and superfluous, and serve only to support riot and luxury: for . . . if all those who labour about useless things were set to more profitable employments, and if all they that languish out their lives in sloth and idleness . . . were forced to labour, you may easily imagine that a small proportion of time would serve for doing all that is either necessary, profitable, or pleasant to mankind, especially while pleasure is kept within its due bounds: this appears very plainly in Utopia; for there, in a great city, and in all the territory that lies round it, you can scarce find five hundred, either men or women, by their age and strength capable of labour, that are not engaged in it.

Is More’s claim in this excerpt valid?

It is valid because it describes how people act when they feel fulfilled.
It is valid because it draws on the consequences of lacking productivity.
It is not valid because it attacks people for being lazy and unmotivated.
It is not valid because it relies on a trend that has not been proven.
