More than eight months after the national lockdown was announced in late March, urban India is learning to live with the Covid-19 pandemic. In fact, indicating a positive outlook for the future, many survey respondents in a recent survey say they plan to return to pre-lockdown levels of shopping, personal grooming, going to cinemas and socializing as pandemic fears continue to recede.
The survey findings highlight that the suppression of consumer demand because of fears of job losses and salary cuts could be coming to an end. Increasingly, urban Indians are showing increased confidence about the future of the economy. This could be an indicator of the possible 'pent-up demand' that several economists have been talking about - a demand that could be unleashed once a vaccine is developed and distributed, or when there are signs of the pandemic's spread reducing to negligible levels or vanishing totally.
Around 65 per cent of respondents said they had settled into new routines, or that they saw signs of the situation improving, or they had come to terms with the pandemic and were moving on with their lives. And since the survey was conducted before the news of the successful trials of the Pfizer vaccine for the coronavirus was announced, it is likely that the consumers are now even more positive in their outlook about the future.
Question:
What predications are made by the economist reagrding the consumer demand?
Option 1: People are settled in their routines
Option 2: There will be further suppression in demand
Option 3: Suppression of demand will be coming to an end
Option 4: People still fear of the loss of jobs and salary cuts

as my class 10 journey was going on and it will ending soon means my board exam of 2024 and 25 was starting from 21 February to 15 March so I am I have to doubt that can I take admission on South Point High school for class 10th after class 10 board exam in month
Hello,
I'm not sure what you're trying to ask. If you are asking that if you can get your school changed for class 10th right now when boards are just one month away, then unfortunately no, that is not possible as you have already been registered with your school for the board exams.
If you are asking to repeat class 10th from another school, then definitely you can but you will have to make sure that the other school is the same board as yours.
Hope this helps,
Thank you
