Many futurists believe that our world will continue to come under the influence of information technology (IT) led by what are called knowledge engineers. Their success opened up the space age in the past and very recently helped scientists read human genome maps. No doubt IT will be a strong influence on the job market. Some think that stockbrokers and realtors are likely to lose business in the future as personal online contacts increase. Others do not agree. In fact, we cannot make perfect predictions on these matters, but we had better be aware of the general trends of the job market.
a) Making Perfect Predictions
b) The Influence of IT
c) The Trends of the Job Market
d)Space Age and Human Genome
e)Face the Changing World

Obviously the answer is b. However, they are using the term "futurists" incorrectly; Futurism is a belief in supremacy over machinery and relates to socio-political beliefs which led to both, believe it or not, the growth of communism AND facism. So if you want to be a real smart-****, point that out. (For more information look up "futurism" in relation to Mussolini and Lenin from 1915-1922)

The first few lines are actually the preview of what is next. The scope gradually narrows down to one focus: the job market. i think the suitable answer would be c.
