Answer: B. A sumo wrestler near the top of the elite pyramid may earn millions of dollars.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics we can see the explanation of how the ranking in sumo wrestling works, and how there is an elite pyramid of the sixty-six highest-ranked wrestlers in Japan who are treated like royalty and may earn millions of dollars a year, while the wrestlers that aren't in the elite are treated like servants by their superiors, this situation might incentive a sumo wrestler to cheat.

Please help!! Identify each characteristic as common to either modern theater or Elizabethan theater.
Drupady [299]

In Elizabethan theater, the lighting was natural, adding only candles or torches, as most of the plays were performed during the day or afternoon. In modern theater, lighting is artificial and carefully planned to establish mood, control the audience´s focus of attention and enhance the meaning of the play.

While In Elizabethan theater plays were performed in courtyards, Inn-yards, playhouses, and amphitheaters where actors had to rely on the power of their voices to reach the audience, in modern theater microphones can be used to help the audience hear the actors during a play.

While In Elizabethan theater crowds could cheer and boo actors during the performance, as the theater was designed for the actor to speak with and directly to the audience, in the modern theater the crowd maintains silence during the performance and the actors do not speak nor acknowledge the audience.

In modern theatre, the most expensive seats are in front of the stage, in opposition to Elizabethan theatre where the cheap seats were in the front and the expensive seats were above and behind the players.
