La tasa de desempleo esté alta a pesar del alto nivel de alfabetización. a. es necesario que b. es una vergüenza que c. es esencial que d. es importante que

The correct option that fills the blank is:

B.  Es una vergüenza que.

- Es una vergüenza que la tasa de desempleo esté alta a pesar del alto nivel de alfabetización.

Explanation:

The translation of the sentence is:

- It is a shame that the unemployment rate is high despite the high level of literacy.

It would be thought that a country with a high level of literacy would have a job rate since schooling would encourage scientific research, industry and foreign investment, however, in Spain and many Latin American countries there is a strange case, although levels of schooling increase and there are more people with professional degrees and even doctorates, the unemployment rate increases due to the inability of governments to promote the different commercial sectors.

For this question, it will be important to use the words "mejor" (better), "lo mejor" (the best), and "lo peor" (the worst). while "mejor" is comparative (you are comparing one thing to something else), "lo mejor" and "lo peor" are superlative (there is nothing else better or worse than what these words are describing - there is no comparison).  you could say something like: la música rap es mejor que la música clásica - que es lo peor - pero la música rock es lo mejor de todas las formas de la música (rap music is better than classical music - which is the worst - but rock music is the best out of all the forms of music).
