Table/indexed.  
Let's look at the three options and see what their advantages and disadvantages are:  
Contiguous - In this scheme, the file is stored in contiguous blocks of the disk. It allows for easy random access of the data, but requires a contiguous sequence of blocks large enough to handle the entire file. Since the size of the file specified in this question varies quite a bit over it's lifespan, you're either going to be wasting a lot of space by having an allocation large enough to handle the maximum sized file, or the file will need to be copied whenever it grows and "bumps" into a file that was allocated after it. Because of this, this method is not the best.  
Linked - The file is stored as a single, or double linked list of file blocks. This allows for the file to grow or shrink as needed, using only the amount of space needed for the file. Unfortunately, this storage scheme doesn't allow for random access of the file contents and the file can only be accessed sequentially. The question for this problem doesn't specify how the file is being accessed, so as long as random access isn't required, then this would be a reasonable allocation scheme. But I'm assuming that random access will be required, in which case, this scheme isn't ideal.  
table/indexed - In this scheme, some disk blocks are used as tables to point to other disk blocks that actually contain the file data. It's almost as fast as contiguous allocation for random access of the file contents, yet allows for the growth and shrinkage of a file like linked allocation. As such, it handles all use cases at a relatively minor cost in total storage required. So this would be the most appropriate allocation scheme since the file access behavior wasn't specified in this question.

Well i believe the answer to this problem is "B. A white collar job." If you was to be in a white collar job you would be in more of professional job such as a teacher or anything that doesn't deal with manual labor, or physical labor. A blue collar worker(job) does more of the physical labor job, construction, architecture, or even a vending machine filler. 
 
I hope you get this right but i have good grades in business.

When the Fed adjusts its interest rate, it directly influences consumer
viva [34]

Answer:

C.borrowing

Explanation:

By adjusting the interest rates, the Fed influences the interest rate that banks charge customers when they borrow. An increase in the fed funds rate causes a rise in bank interest rates on loans and mortgages.

Interest rates are a monetary policy tool that the Fed uses to regulate the money supply in the economy.  Should the fed desire to increase the money supply, it lowers the interest rates making the cost of borrowing attractive. An increase in interest rate makes borrowing expensive and hence reduces the money supply. The Fed uses interest rates to influence the money supply by encouraging or discouraging borrowing of money by firms and households

Answer:

The correct answer is d) The free-rider problem .

Explanation:

This term refers to a problem in economics where a person who is known as a stowaway, benefits from using a service or consuming a product without paying anything for it. In this case Kevin should contribute to the radio station, since regardless of whether what was expected in a given period has been raised, just being committed is enough to have the obligation to contribute for the maintenance of the station over time.
