1. Answer: People didn't have to trade goods.

Explanation:

With a unitary currency, trading goods became easier. It also allowed people to have a standardized form of trading, where each commodity had the same value for everyone. Also, money it made possible for people not to have goods and still trade and buy stuff. It also allowed them not to carry their commodity around when they wanted to trade. Money was a precondition for open market and competition. Money was a starting point for credit system and banking.

2. Answer:

Paper money was easier to handle and carry around. It is also fictional because, it has no other value, but the value people gave it in order to recognize it as an official form of money. It is originally issued by banks, and is a legal requirement for buying commodity. First paper money originated in South-East Asia and China. A disadvantage for paper money is that it makes inflation possible, which is made financial crises, because the money loses all of its value.  

3. Answer:

The best thing to put on the coin is a symbol of the state - a government's house, or some former leader - founding father of the country. This symbol should be on the back of a coin, while on the front there should be the amount of money this coin represents. While coins nowadays represent small amounts of money, there should be a denomination of 1 or 2 on the front side of the coin.

Dying of cancer, Janice promises God that she will devote her life to the church if He lets her live. According to Kübler-Ross,
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Bargaining

Explanation:

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross developed a theory according to which people go through 5 different stages in the process of dying and grief:

  1. Denial: First, the person cannot accept the diagnosis from the doctors or can think there is a mistake and that he/she cannot be dying.
  2. Anger: In this stage, the person gets angry, usually at God, and gets upset and often wonders why is this happening to him/her.
  3. Bargaining: During this stage, the person says <u>she would do anything in exchange for not dying, he/she will make promises</u> (go to church, be a better person) to survive. These promises are usually made to God.
  4. Depression: The person accepts that bargaining will not work and will start a process of sadness, starting to recognize the reality of death.
  5. Acceptance: The person has come to terms with the fact that he/she is going to die and starts saying her goodbyes and reviews the life he/she has lived and makes arrangements referring to her/his death.

In this example, Janice is dying of cancer and she promises God that she will devote her life to church if he lets her live. We can see that s<u>he is bargaining and promising something in exchange for not dying</u>. Therefore, we can see that she is exhibiting the response of bargaining.

alexandr402 [8]
The correct answer is an evocative gene-environment correlation. 

An evocative gene-environment correlation refers to the phenomenon where the behavior that an individual has inherited elicits or leads to an environmental response. In this instance, Vernon's (inherited) temperament is active and friendly due to which his parents provide him with social stimulation. On the other hand, Vivian, who has a more passive and quiet nature (inherited) receives less stimulation from her parents.
