The correct option that fills the blank is:

- 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.
