Answer:

The statement about a market economy that is correct is Option C: It offers people the freedom to pursue the work and purchases they desire.

Explanation:

A free-market economy works on the principle that government should not do much to control an economy or to add too many protections. Companies and investors should be free to invest in the kinds of businesses they like -- entrepreneurs should be allowed to enter into creative and innovative ventures without the burden of too much regulation and tariffs and other barriers to trade. However, even in the United States which is considered the model for a free-market economy, there are certain industries where there is a lot of government regulation and the producers benefit from government subsidies that make it hard for international sources to compete. This is true in the agricultural sector for example. American farmers who grow crops like corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, and rice receive subsidies from the government and it allows them to sell their product much cheaper than if it were truly a free-market.

Answer:

Informational influence; Normative influence

Explanation:

Will pays attention to when the rest of the congregation sits and stands because he wants to be sure to stand and sit at the appropriate times. This shows Will has conformed because of INFORMATIONAL INFLUENCE.

Informational influence refers to new knowledge or arguments provided in a group discussion that alter the views, opinions, or actions of a group member, here WILL with the new knowledge he learned by observing the congregation helps him know his next options/actions.

Grace stands up and sits down when the rest of the congregation does because if she doesn't, the elderly couple across the aisle scowls at her.

Grace has conformed because of NORMATIVE INFLUENCE .

Normative influence refers to the idea that often times people change their actions, thoughts or beliefs that others like and embrace. GRACE stands up and sit down when the rest of the congregation does, because she knows if she doesn't the old women would scowl at her, this shows she is trying to impress and make the people like her.
