When people engage in activities that help others, their brain releases endorphins, the brain’s natural opiates, which induce in

people a feeling of well-being. It has been suggested that regular release of endorphins increases people’s longevity. And a statistic on adults who regularly engage in volunteer work helping others shows that they live longer, on average, than adults who do not volunteer. However, that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not boost longevity, because _______.
(A) in the communities studied, women were much more likely to do regular volunteer work than men were, and women tend to live longer than men do.
(B) the number of young adults who do regular volunteer work is on the increase.
(C) the feelings of well-being induced by endorphins can, at least for a time, mask the symptoms of various conditions and diseases, provided the symptoms are mild.
(D) it is rare for a person to keep up a regular schedule of volunteer work throughout his or her life.
(E) Some people find that keeping a commitment to do regular volunteer work becomes a source of stress in their lives.

Answer:

(A) in the communities studied, women were much more likely to do regular volunteer work than men were, and women tend to live longer than men do.

Explanation:

In the text three associations are made:

  1. volunteering --> endorphin release
  2. endorphin release ---> longevity
  3. volunteering ---> longevity

The question is why it might be the case that those who volunteer might, on average, live longer, than those who don't, even if the volunteering itself isn't conferring any benefit. In any other words, there must be something about the volunteering population that accounts for them having a longer life expectancy. We're looking for that something else - what feature does this group have that accounts for their longer lifespans?

Answer A is the only one that is relevant, stating that if women are disproportionately represented among volunteers, and women live longer than men do, then we'd expect volunteering populations to live longer than non-volunteering populations, even if volunteering wasn't conducive to long life.

The Republic of Monaslu has the world's most efficient car manufacturing industry, while the country of Ingora has the world's m
nasty-shy [4]

This form of trade between the two countries illustrates the Heckscher-Ohlin theory.

The Republic of Monaslu is exporting what it can most efficiently produce and the country of Ingora is exporting what it can most efficiently produce. They are also both importing goods that they need.

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

the Hecksher-Ohlin theory

This theory is based around the idea that countries should export goods or labor that they are the most efficient at producing. This efficiency also means that they should be able to easily turn a profit on these goods or services. Examples would be a country who has a great deal of oil reserves but not enough agriculture. The country would export its oil to then import agricultural products.

the mercantilist doctrine

This doctrine is in full support of domestic goods. The government regulates trade in such a way that promotes domestic goods over imports. Imported goods are heavily regulated through tariffs, while domestic goods are heavily protected.

the product life-cycle theory

This theory states that there are three stages in the life-cycle of a product that enters the market. The first stage is the product introduction. This stage is just as it sounds, the product enters the market. It first starts off in the local market with very little production because it is new and not well known. There are some changes made to the product to make it better and possibly less expensive to produce. As it becomes more popular production and distribution increases. The second stage is the maturity stage. The product is being distributed internationally. Changes to the products are still ongoing, but fewer. Production facilities are being built in various locations so as to produce locally and reduce cost. The last stage is product standardization and streamline of manufacturing. At this stage, the product has undergone it's final iteration. The production facilities are standardized so as to reduce cost. Also, other similar products have begun to flood the marketplace.

the theory of absolute advantage

This is when a producer can produce the same quantity and quality of goods or services as another producer for lesser cost. Therefore it is more efficient and cost effective so it is more profitable.

stiks02 [169]

Answer: $50.81

Explanation:

Simple interest = principal x rate x time

The principal was $1,400

The rate is 6.40% (0.064)

The chart indicates that it is 207 days from April 15 to Nov 8

Therefore the amount of time is (207/365).

Simple interest = principal x rate x time

Simple interest= $1,400 x 0.064 x (207/365)

Simple interest= $50.81

Therefore the penalty is $50.81
