I think the Mercantilism had been one of the major influences of modern capitalism. Although it was not as considered as part of capitalism, it paved the way to trade, banking, finance, accountancy, and other goods and services offered during this era. It was only then when Karl Marx and Adam Smith who had defined the word capitalism through their works such as Marxism and Economic Liberalism. In this, people were able to understand the idea of public and private properties. It also paved the way to social roles of people living in a certain society.

I don't know if this question is supposed to have options, but, if not, I would say that the word that describes the mood of the excerpt is sensitive.

Answer:
C. I stood in the open door of my boss's office, frozen despite the butterflies doing acrobatics in the pit of my stomach.
Explanation:
A. Unlike C, this answer almost seems to provide a dismissive tone of their nervous feeling. They seemed to have some form of composure, as they could at least shake her hand. This answer can be eliminated.
B. Here, the sentence directly states that they feel their tension ease itself. They do not seem very nervous, but it could still be a possibility. However, there is a better answer.
C. Here, an idiom is used to describe the state of the person in question. The "butterflies in their stomach" is a common English expression to express anxiety or worry. Clearly, this is the correct answer.
D. This answer is descriptive of the scenery, but it does not mention a word of the person's feelings. This answer can be easily eliminated.

1. We are going to move to a new house next summer.

3. Ellen isn't going to apply to the university in Brighton.
4. I am going to fly to Geneva on Monday.
5. We aren't going to stop at Granny's house on the journey.
6. Helen is going to take her driving test next month. I hope she passes!
7. I am not going to finish my studies next year. I have decided to go travelling instead.
Explanation:
We use "going to" to indicate a future action that we have already planned. The structure is:
subject + to be + going to + main verb
The auxiliary verb is "to be". It must be conjugated according to the subject of the sentence: I am, you are, he is, she is, it is, we are, or they are. If the sentence is negative, the verb "to be" can be contracted with "not" when possible: aren't or isn't. If the sentence is interrogative, "to be" must be placed before the subject. Take a look at the examples below to better understand it:
- Lisa (she) is going to cook us dinner.
- Lisa isn't going to cook us dinner.
- Is Lisa going to cook us dinner?
