Answer:

A. prevented businesses from fixing prices and limiting production

Explanation:

Antitrust laws often termed as competition laws, are collection of both federal and state laws or statutes developed by the U.S. government to guide the activities of business orgainzation, most especially, to protect consumers from exploitation from business practices or to enhance, competition for the betterment of the consumers.

The are three main statutes of antitrust laws, they includes the following:

1. The Sherman Act of 1890

2. The Clayton Act of 1914

3. The Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914.

These Acts serve three major functions, where the Section 1 of the Sherman Act stops or against the act of price-fixing and the operation of cartels, and not support other collusive practices that unreasonably restrain trade.

Also, Section 7 of the Clayton Act limits the mergers and acquisitions of organizations that most times greatly limits competition.

Lastly, Section 2 of the Sherman Act forbid the abuse of monopoly power.

Hence, it is concluded that Antitrust law prevented businesses from fixing prices and limiting production

Answer:

a.  prevented businesses from fixing prices and limiting production

Explanation:

Anti-trust laws refer to laws that were established by the United States government to avoid that companies engage in practices that affect customers and the competition in the market, for example, when several companies establish prices for their benefit and when companies limit their production to maintain certain price. According to this, the answer is that anti-trust laws prevented businesses from fixing prices and limiting production.

The other options are not right because anti-trust laws are about maintaining a free competition in the market and avoid unethical behaviors from the companies which means that these laws don't allow companies to fix prices, limit production or reveal information from clients.

Sasha needs to select among three candidates for an open position in her department. She was most impressed by Randall's persona
Arisa [49]

Answer:    C. Can-do

Explanation:  Since Sasha does not have the luxury of training Randall on the job because he does not have the necessary skills, so she needs someone who has the necessary skills to access the job immediately, then Randall is eliminated due to the can-do factor. The can-do factor depends on skills, i.e. whether Randall is capable of doing something that is needed. It does not depends on motivation, character, personality, it simply depends on knowing the skills. So if he has the skills he can do something.

Which situation most likely developed as a result of gerrymandering
podryga [215]

Best answer:  B. A state is sued for intentionally creating a Congressional district with a majority African-American population.

Background/context:

The landmark case regarding voting district lines was <em>Baker v. Carr </em>(1962), which pertained to voting districts in Tennessee.  The plaintiff, Charles Baker, argued that voting districts, which had not been redrawn since 1901, heavily favored rural locations over urban centers which had grown significantly since then.  Joe Carr was Secretary of State for Tennessee at the time, so was named in the case in regard to voting district lines as drawn by the state legislature.  The Supreme Court ruled that voting districts were not merely a political matter to be decided by legislatures, but that they were subject to review by federal courts to determine their fairness. 

The matter of redrawing district lines has come up in court cases recently as some state legislatures, when dominated by one political party, have "gerrymandered" district lines to try to maintain continued prominence for their party.   Legislatures dominated by one party may redraw district lines (following the US Census) in ways that favor their party's candidates maintaining an advantage.   Earlier this year, lawsuits were filed against the states of Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana, accusing those states of trying to isolate African-American voters to limit their impact on Congressional elections.  According to <em>Courthouse News Service </em>(June 14, 2018), "In Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana, local lawyers filed lawsuits in federal court against each states’ Secretary of States ...  alleging the Republican efforts in 2011 to redraw congressional lines left many of the minority black voters packed into one district and breaking up pockets of others."
