I, on the other hand, polishing his skin with this razor but avoiding the drawing of blood, careful with every stroke—I cannot keep my thoughts in order.

Answer:

D. Short sentences and confused thoughts speed the pace toward the barber’s important decision.

Explanation:

In the sort story "Lather And Nothing Else" by Hernando Tellez, the plot revolves around the internal conflict of a barber who wished to kill his customer, General Tortes. Turns out that the barber had been a revolutionary, and the general was the head of the military that is trying to remove all the revolutionaries.

In the given excerpt, the barber is in a dilemma whether to kill the general while he's shaving him, for the opportunity is perfect. But then he decides that he may be a revolutionary, but not an executioner like the general. His decision to not kill him was a result of extreme internal conflict between himself. But in the end, it serves him in a good way for the general had already known his true identity and ha just tested him by coming to his shop. The author uses short sentences in presenting the scene in the shop, and the confusion in him to create a sense of suspense in the barber.

You seek to make a 40% return on a $1,500 investment. Apple stock yields a 30% return, while Microsoft stock yields an 80% retur
andriy [413]

Answer:

80% of Apple shares and 20% of Microsoft shares must be acquired.

Explanation:

To determine in what proportion each stock can be purchased, it must be determined how much profit will be obtained according to the percentage in which each stock is subscribed. Thus, acquiring 60% of Apple stocks and 40% of Microsoft, the benefit will be as follows:

((60 x 30) + (40 x 80)) / 100 = X

(1800 + 3200) / 100 = X

5000/100 = X

50 = X

Therefore, the ratio must be greater than 60/40. So, testing an 80/20, the benefit will be as follows:

((80 x 30) + (20 x 80)) / 100 = X

(2400 + 1600) / 100 = X

4000/100 = X

40 = X

Therefore, 80% of Apple shares and 20% of Microsoft shares must be acquired.
