I MARK BRAINLIEST PLEASE HURRY!!!


Read this excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics.

The incentive scheme that rules sumo is intricate and extraordinarily powerful. Each wrestler maintains a ranking that affects every slice of life; how much money he makes, how large an entourage he carries, how much he gets to eat, sleep, and otherwise take advantage of his success. The sixty-six highest-ranked wrestlers in Japan, comprising the makuuchi and juryo divisions, make up the sumo elite. A wrestler near the top of this elite pyramid may earn millions and is treated like royalty. Any wrestler in the top forty earns at least $170,000 a year. The seventieth-ranked wrestler in Japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year. Life isn’t very sweet outside the elite. Low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors, preparing their meals and cleaning their quarters and even soaping up their hardest-to-reach body parts. So ranking is everything.

A wrestler’s ranking is based on his performance in the elite tournaments that are held six times a year. Each wrestler has fifteen bouts per tournament, one per day over fifteen consecutive days. If he finishes the tournament with a winning record (eight victories or better), his ranking will rise. If he has a losing record, his ranking falls. If it falls far enough, he is booted from the elite rank entirely. The eighth victory in any tournament is therefore critical, the difference between promotion and demotion; it is roughly four times as valuable in the rankings as the typical victory.

Based on the excerpt, which of the following statements best summarizes the incentive system that ranks sumo wrestlers?
The incentive system penalizes elite sumo wrestlers.
The incentive system rewards elite sumo wrestlers.
The incentive system treats all sumo wrestlers equally.
The incentive system treats all sumo wrestlers like royalty.

Read the excerpt from Elie Wiesel’s All Rivers Run to the Sea.

Why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into Poland? Why were the tracks leading to Birkenau never bombed? I have put these questions to American presidents and generals and to high-ranking Soviet officers. Since Moscow and Washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their “production”? That not a single Allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on Auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma into Poland? Why were the tracks leading to Birkenau never bombed?

How does Wiesel’s choice of genre prove beneficial in the excerpt?
It shows him trying to reconcile the events of his past in Poland so he can move on with his future in America.
It gives him the chance to question presidents and generals about their positions regarding the Holocaust.
It allows him a moment to reflect on why the world neglected to aid the Jewish people during their greatest time of need.
It provides him the opportunity to accuse American and Soviet leaders of keeping the Holocaust a secret.

Answers

Answer:

She would start fights with B and accuse her of things she didn't do and she would just attack B for the smallest of reason. We eventually said it was enough and told her that if she didn't stop harassing B we were going to cut her out of our friend group. She didn't stop and that's what we ended up doing. I definitely think we made the right decision and I dont have any regrets. She still acts like a child to this day.

In Chapter 10, on the morning after Simon’s death, Piggy and Ralph reconvene to discuss the events of the past evening. While Ralph admits to participating in the murder of Simon, Piggy insists that they didn’t see or do anything. Unlike Ralph, Piggy tries to maintain his sense of humanity and dignity by lying to himself about his culpability. Because Piggy can reason and think much better than Jack, they both start to arrive at different ways of how they should run their little society. The only reason Jack rivals and eventually overpowers Piggy’s reasoning is because of the way he presents himself; which is powerful and knowledgeable. As the voice of logic and intellect, Piggy is ridiculed and ignored, and when he asks this legitimate question during an assembly, Jack immediate stands and calls him names, proving Piggy’s concerns about savagery on a small scale. [Jack] hates you too, Ralph...You got him over the fire; an’ you’re chief an’ he isn’t…Jack represents anarchy. His rejection of Ralph's imposed order--and the bloody results of this act--indicate the danger inherent in an anarchic system based only on self-interest.

The narrator is greedy and mean.


The narrator is worried that he is being taken advantage of by the

Passage

The old man hung his head for a moment in thought. Then he stood up and stared at me. “Friend,” he said, “I do not like to have you speak to me in that manner.” I kept still and let him have his say. “I know these Americans are good people, and that is why I have agreed to sell my house to them. But I do not care to be insulted. I have agreed to sell my house and land for twelve hundred dollars and that is the price.”


I argued with him, but it was useless. Finally he signed the deed and took the money but refused to take more than the amount agreed upon. Then he shook hands all around, put on his ragged gloves, took his stick and walked out with the boy behind him.
