○ yes, traditional education provides all of the skills employers are looking for.

○ yes, a combination of academic and core skills will give you the best options.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option suggests ignoring traditional education (academic skills) in favor of core skills, which is extreme as both are valuable.
• The second option incorrectly claims literacy and math skills are fading in the computer age; these are still fundamental.
• The third option overstates traditional education by saying it provides "all" employer - sought skills, which is not true as core skills are also important.
• The fourth option recognizes that a combination of academic (from traditional education) and core skills is optimal for 21st - century workforce preparation.

Answer:

D. Yes, a combination of academic and core skills will give you the best options.
