The answer is D: allusion

The poetic technique illustrated throughout the entire poem "Happiness Epidemic" is allusion , which is the figure of speech the authors use to make a brief reference to a place, person, idea or event in order to make association from these sources. It is a reference to something or someone outside the text. The author mentions health/medical issues: Epidemic, disease, syntoms, clinically, major organs, virus etc to describe happiness and its effects.

what are correct inferences about the potential results of chinas surveillance systems and social credit scoring

Inessa [10]

China's social credit system has been compared to Black Mirror, Big Brother and every other dystopian future sci-fi writers can think up. The reality is more complicated — and in some ways, worse.

The idea for social credit came about back in 2007, with projects announced by the government as an opt-in system in 2014. But there's a difference between the official government system and private, corporate versions, though the latter's scoring system that includes shopping habits and friendships is often conflated with the former.

Brits are well accustomed to credit checks: data brokers such as Experian trace the timely manner in which we pay our debts, giving us a score that's used by lenders and mortgage providers. We also have social-style scores, and anyone who has shopped online with eBay has a rating on shipping times and communication, while Uber drivers and passengers both rate each other; if your score falls too far, you're out of luck.

China's social credit system expands that idea to all aspects of life, judging citizens' behaviour and trustworthiness. Caught jaywalking, don't pay a court bill, play your music too loud on the train — you could lose certain rights, such as booking a flight or train ticket. "The idea itself is not a Chinese phenomenon," says Mareike Ohlberg, research associate at the Mercator Institute for China Studies. Nor is the use, and abuse, of aggregated data for analysis of behaviour. "But if [the Chinese system] does come together as envisioned, it would still be something very unique," she says. "It's both unique and part of a global trend."

At the beginning we need to understand the nature of this process and its steps, so we could know what steps our options fall into.

The decision-making process is the process of making choices by identifying a decision, gathering information, and assessing alternative resolutions.

There are 7 main steps of the decision-making process:

Step 1: Identify the decision. You have to make a decision what topic you want to learn more about, it means what you want exactly and in what direction to move. From the given choices - Natasha decides that she wants to be an equine veterinarian.

Step 2: Gather relevant information. You have to gather as much information as you can on the needed topic, you can look everywhere: the internet, books, asking people, etc. From the given choices - Natasha researches more about what it’s like to be a veterinarian.

Step 3: Identify the alternatives. While you are searching for information, you will definitely run into alternatives to the needed topic. It is also very important to learn about alternatives. From the given choices - Natasha learns more about the different possible veterinarian types.

Step 4: Weigh the evidence. You have to evaluate what you've found. What you think is good for you and your future, and what is not.

Step 5: Choose among alternatives. Once you evaluated all the information on the needed topic and its alternatives, you need to choose what suits you best. From the given options - Natasha decides that being an equine veterinarian is the best choice for her.

Step 6: Take action. You have to start doing what you've decided (in our case, Natasha needs to attend university to become veterinarian).

Step 7: Review your decision & its consequences. After some times you see the results of your decision and evaluate it; if it was worth it or not, or you have to change your decision.

I hope it helped you :)
