Answer:

Sunk-cost fallacy.

Explanation:

The sunk-cost fallacy refers to the behavior done by the individuals when they continue such behavior because they already invested resources on it (time, money, effort).

In this example, <u>Les invested money on the megaphone of root beer,</u> he starts drinking it but <u>he becomes full, nevertheless he keeps drinking it </u>(even when his friend tells him he will get sick) <u>because he "bought it and not going to waste one drop of it"</u>

<u>Less continues drinking the root beer even though he's already full because he thinks he already invested money on buying it.</u>

Thus, this is an example of the sunk-cost fallacy.

Ivan

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options provided, we can answer the following.

In many parts of the country, the wiring method in unfinished basements is non-metallic-sheated cable in the ceiling and EMT on the walls for receptacles and switches.

This cable is flexible and is covered by plastic sheathing to protect the conductors that are insulated. In 1922, the company Romex created this type of cable. The use of this material became common in the 1960s when woven rayon was replaced by plastic. Architects started to use this Non-Metallic cable in American houses for electrical wiring. As it was hidden, it did not mess with the house decoration. Another great advantage of its popularity is that it is non-expensive.

<em>Discrimination</em>
