The cost of bagels has gone up dramatically since the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, the number of bagels that disappear without being paid for has also gone up. Don’t let that continue. I don’t imagine that you would teach your children to cheat, so why do it yourselves? The excerpt serves as which type of support for the authors’ argument?

Answers

Answer 1

This question is missing the previous part of the excerpt and the answer options. I have found the complete question online. The part that you already posted will be omitted, replaced with . . .

Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner's "Freakonomics":

In the real world, Feldman learned to settle for less than 95 percent. He came to consider a company as "honest" if its payment rate was above 90 percent. He considered a rate between 80 and 90 percent "annoying but tolerable." If a company habitually paid below 80 percent, Feldman might post a hectoring note, like this one:

. . .

A. a claim

B. an example

C. a conclusion

D. a counterclaim

Answer:

The excerpt serves a:

B. an example

Explanation:

The excerpt in the question serves as an example for the passage posted above.

Feldman is a man who leaves baskets with bagels at companies for people to take them and pay for them. He does not stay at the company, however, to make sure people will pay. He would rather trust their honesty. But, if people begin to take the bagels without paying to the point where Feldman only makes between 80 to 90 percent of the money he should make, he leaves them a note.

When the authors talk about Feldman's note, the phrase "like this one" shows that the excerpt is an example of a type of note Feldman might use to increase payment by appealing to people's honesty.

Hello. Unfortunately you did not submit the text that this question refers to. Without the text it is impossible for me to show you which answer option is the correct answer. However, I will try to help you find that answer as best I can.

There is only one way to find the correct answer, and that is by reading the text, and that is what you should do. When reading the text, you will be able to find its central idea, which is nothing more than the subject that the text is presenting. In that case, you will be able to find that subject when you identify what the author of the text is talking about, what he is presenting to the reader.

Read the short story. Lynn, Sarah, and Keanna have been friends for over three years. Because they are all good singers, their high school chorus director has entered them into a local singing competition. The winner of the contest will advance to a state competition and have the opportunity to sing on television. All of the girls think that would be really exciting. Which conclusion would readers find most satisfying

Answers

Answer:

The organizers of the contest put them together as a group and they win together.

Explanation:

In the given scenario, the tone of the story seems to be the united nature of the three girls. Being friends for over three years, and all good singers, they will be loyal to one another.

Thus, the most satisfying conclusion will be to see them put together as a group and win the contest.

Match the form of "dance" with its verb tense. 1. dance 1 present 2. danced 3 future 3. will dance 5 past perfect 4. have danced 2 past 5. had danced 6 future perfect 6. will have danced 4 present perfect

Answers

Answer:

1. dance 1. present

2. danced 2. past

3. will dance 3. future

4. have danced 4. present perfect

5. had danced 5. past perfect

6. will have danced 6. future perfect

Explanation:

A verb in the present maintains the infinitive form but without "to". For example: to walk --> walk

In the past, if the verb is regular, it gains -d, -ed, or -ied: walk --> walked

In the future, we use the auxiliary "will." Example: to walk --> will walk

The present perfect uses the auxiliary "have" and the main verb in the past participle: have walked

The past perfect uses the auxiliary "had" and the main verb in the past participle as well: had walked.

Finally, the future perfect uses both auxiliaries "will" and "have" plus the main verb in the past participle: will have walked.
