One of the exaggerations of Jim Smiley was by Simon Wheeler wherein Wheeler would say that Jim Smiley is the type of person that "bets on anything that turned up". In the story, Smiley betted on cockfights, horse races, cat fights and other animal fights. This hyperbole emphasizes that Smiley loves to bet and gamble in general.

The exaggeration about Jim Smiley that the narrator of "the notorious jumping frog of calaveras country" makes is "Smiley will bet on anything, on any side."

Jim Smiley is a man addicted to gambling and he likes to compete, actually he’ll bet on anything, including the long shot and the underdog. On top of that, he is a very lucky man. He usually wins. But above all, he has a knack for finding and cultivating animals that appear to be losers or nothing special but, in fact, have the gumption they need to win.

Which sentences from the passage support the idea that prices vary for complicated reasons?
Brilliant_brown [7]

The correct answers are B) "The price a consumer is willing to pay for a garden hose—its “perceived value”—is a lot higher in Germany than in the United States." And C) "If you want to buy a bottle of water while strolling through Central Park, you may be in for a shock."

Those are the sentences from the passage that support the idea that prices vary for complicated reasons.

The passage states that most consumers look for the best quality item for the lowest possible price and that the price they are willing to pay is influenced by many factors such as the wage they earn at work, how much they need the item, the amount of money they pay for their food, housing, and clothing. These factors change from one place to another and of course, prices too.

That is why is so difficult to understand that a bottle of water in your city cost $1.99, but in Central Park, New York, the same bottle different label can cost twice or more...and people pay it because they agree with the cost and the necessity that is satisfying. The same with the hose in Germany. It that is the correct value Germans assign to the function of the hose, they have no problem to pay an expensive price.

You are Meera/ Mohan,a Human Rights campaigner. Write a letter to the Editor of a local daily, pointing out ways and suggestions
xz_007 [3.2K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The letter would be this one.

Dear...

Senior Editor.

Local News

Present

Dear Sir,

What we are witnessing is intolerable.

Racism is a virus that is "eating or society." How much longer are we need to tolerate these incidents to do some big that put a stop on these sad events?

Respectfully, I invite your news company to fully commit to the promotion of a social campaign that shares or voices and makes people think about the issue of race.

Consider the following.

-Support black and minority organizations. It could be money, it could be voluntary time to spread the peace message.

-Do not spread lies or partial truths. Research alternative versions of reality.

-Include the voice of minority leaders. They experience on the issue of racism.

-Be independent and never accept the pressure of supremacists or extremist groups.

If you include all the voices with objectivity, people will have the capacity to construct their own conclusions.

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Meera.
