Answer:

The location on Earth's surface exactly above the point of origin or the earthquake

Explanation:

In seismology, the epicenter refers to the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above the point of origin of an earthquake. The epicenter is the location where the greatest damage occurs and as we go further from the epicenter, the damage is lesser.

So, using everyday terms, <u>you could tell your friend that the epicenter is the location on Earth's surface exactly above the point of origin or the earthquake (which in this case was 45 miles east of LA) </u>

Option A

The stabilization of the market represents what Merton would describe as a latent function of education.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A latent function is one that is not consciously planned, but that, although, has a helpful impact on society. Latent functions are neither purposive nor leisurely but also provide benefits.

Latent functions of the institution of education involve the development of friendships among scholars who enroll at the corresponding school; the prerequisite of entertainment and socializing events and supplying poor students lunch when they would contrarily go hungry. Latent functions are that they usually go overlooked or uncredited, that is except they create negative outcomes.
