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 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. . . . So ranking is everything.
1. Which of the following central ideas from the paragraph is a reason that supports the claim “cheating exists because of incentive.”
A. Every wrestler has a ranking.
B. Ranking affects your diet.
C. The makuuchi and juryo divisions make up the sumo elite.
*D. Ranking is everything.

Answer:

1. D. Based on the central idea, cheating tends to exist in Zumo wrestling because "Ranking is everything" that makes you survive as a wrestler.

2.. The three sentences to back up the claim that " Ranking is everything" are

B. “Each wrestler maintains a ranking that affects every slice of his life.”

C. “The seventieth-ranked wrestler in Japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year.”

D. “Low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors.”

Explanation:

In explaining the key factor of "ranking being everything" , we look it from the fact that Zumo wrestlers in Japan are made so powerful because of the incentive that is attached to the high ranking positions in the category that are available. This ranking that comes with juicy incentives determines the life of a wrestler based on what he can eat, the number of people he can carry about, and how he can sleep well.

However, wrestlers that make up the elite are the makuuchi and juryo divisions with those at the top-earning millions per year  while those below earnings ranges from $17,000 to $15,000 thereby making the lower-ranked ones to serve the high ranking ones

What conclusion can readers draw about Charlie based on his description of taking the Rorschach test?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

On March 4th, when Charlie took the Rorschach Test, he was supposed to view the images of the inkblots and freely imagine what he saw in them. But Charlie only saw the inkblots for what they were: blobs of ink. Even when Burt tells him to imagine, to pretend, to look for something there in the card, Charlie can't. He struggles to give a true description of the cards, pointing out how one was "a very nice pictur of ink with pritty points all around the eges," but again, this isn't the response that the psychologist is looking for.

Like ambiguously shaped clouds in which people "see" images of people and animals, the inkblots have enough random, busy shapes on them for people to interpret them as many different things--people, animals, scenes, conflicts, and so on. The idea is that the psychologist will pay attention to what a person thinks he or she sees in the inkblots, which is supposed to provide insight on what that person thinks and feels overall.

As a result of Charlie's inability to properly take this test, he worries that he's failed and that he won't be a candidate for the treatment to increase his intelligence. And while he gets frustrated with himself during the test, and while Burt seems to get almost angry--as evinced when his pencil point breaks--I wouldn't say that Charlie is angry in this situation.

But what this scene does reveal about his character is that perhaps he's already smarter than we expect. By insisting on seeing the inkblots for what they really are, and by failing to imagine scenes and images that are false or skewed, Charlie shows that he's not just honest but scrupulous. This early evidence of his good character foreshadows the upcoming conflicts he has with the men at the bakery as well as the researchers themselves, who are less scrupulous.
