The incentive scheme that rules sumo is intricate and extraordinarily powerful. Each wrestler maintains a ranking that affects e

very slice of life; how much money he makes, how large an entourage he carries, how much he gets to eat, sleep, and otherwise take advantage of his success. The sixty-six highest-ranked wrestlers in Japan, comprising the makuuchi and juryo divisions, make up the sumo elite. A wrestler near the top of this elite pyramid may earn millions and is treated like royalty. Any wrestler in the top forty earns at least $170,000 a year. The seventieth-ranked wrestler in Japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year. Life isn’t very sweet outside the elite. Low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors, preparing their meals and cleaning their quarters and even soaping up their hardest-to-reach body parts. So ranking is everything. A wrestler’s ranking is based on his performance in the elite tournaments that are held six times a year. Each wrestler has fifteen bouts per tournament, one per day over fifteen consecutive days. If he finishes the tournament with a winning record (eight victories or better), his ranking will rise. If he has a losing record, his ranking falls. If it falls far enough, he is booted from the elite rank entirely. The eighth victory in any tournament is therefore critical, the difference between promotion and demotion; it is roughly four times as valuable in the rankings as the typical victory. Based on the excerpt, which statement provides the best example of incentive for a sumo wrestler to cheat? Sumo wrestling is revered in a way that American sports can never be. A sumo wrestler near the top of the elite pyramid may earn millions of dollars. Sumo wrestling has fifteen bouts in each elite tournament. A sumo wrestler must participate in elite tournaments six times a year.

The correct answer should be <span>A sumo wrestler near the top of the elite pyramid may earn millions of dollars.

There is no mention of American sports anywhere and since they want to lead a life of luxury then they will sometimes want to cheat. Since there is such a vast earning difference, lower ranked wrestlers will feel like cheating to enter the best of the best because it will ensure that they earn large sums of money.</span>

Answer:

Children learn many lessons about life and relationships just by being able to understand how in different ways certain lessons are the same, and how some aspects are entirely different.

Explanation:

Children who travel more are more likely to be adventurous, tolerant, and more interested in trying out new things.  It provides an experiential learning approach where children learn in a real environment. Traveling teaches children about different traditions, customs, cultures, and languages. There is also research that indicates that students who travel achieve better performance in school, due to exposure to practical learning.

Traveling gives the outside world view to the children from where they can learn about new food, clothing, sports, people, etc.
