Q
Unfortunately, the ____ level of unempoyment hasn't changed since the last April.
There're two options which I doubt :
1# former
2# current
According to the book the answer is 2# although I circled 1#. If the level hasn't changed then the two levels must be equal but the one who could have changed is the former level because the current level is what is measured right now. If instead of "hasn't" it were "has" the sentence with the book's answer would be senseless, wouldn't it?
Could someone please explain me why the answer is 1 (if it actually is)?
Thanks

Last April, there was a new level of unemployement, and since then it hasn't changed . So it's the "current" level that hasn't changed, because it's still on, has been on since last April.
