Answer:
c: greed and impulsive decisions can lead to huge consequences
Explanation:
One of the great themes presented in "The bet" is greed and how it leads to terrible and very harmful situations for people. In other words, the text shows that greed is harmful and does not promote the progress of human beings, in addition to leading to very difficult consequences to deal with. The same goes for impulsive decisions that cause human beings to abandon reason and promote serious problems.
Nouns, Adjectives, Predicates, Linking Verb Not sure about these cuz a participle MODIFIES them, not sure if it is USED as them: Subjects, Objects of Preposition, Direct Objects, Indirect Objects, Appositives, and Compliments.
Definition: these are slogans that are 1 or 2 minutes long (if a TV or radio ad) or large single page posters that try to influence people about social issues. They are free (without cost). I think they are almost always government initiated.
Examples:
No Kid Hungry narrated by Jeff Bridges.
Stop Cyber Bullying
Save Lives: Stop Red Light running.
Don't Drink and Drive
They are effective because:
1. They are free. They can be entered into the media many times. Not only that but they reach across the country because many radio / TV stations are networked.
2. They can be like chain letters. They can cause people to talk about the issues.
3. Organizations are built around these slogans. Do you have MADD in the United States? That stands for Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. Their slogan is Don't Drink and Drive. It's very well known up here. Mothers who are against Drunk Driving are very adamant and very outspoken. They are also single minded.
4. They are effective because they are meant to make you feel guilty if you don't agree with the slogan. Imagine standing up to a mother who has lost a child and saying "It's not so bad. There are worse things. No damage no harm done."
