This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Mandy, a true believer in astrology, reads in her horoscope that today is her lucky day. She gets so excited that she spills coffee all over herself, necessitating a change of clothes. As a result, she is late for work and for a very important meeting, which in turn gets her into serious trouble with her boss. That evening, her brother is taken to the emergency room. On her way to visit him, Mandy finds a dime in the hospital parking lot. What does research on the confirmation bias suggest that Mandy will do?
A) Mandy will renounce astrology as completely wrong because of all the horrible things that happened on her "lucky day."
B) Mandy will begin to question her belief in astrology because of all the horrible things that happened on her "lucky day."
C) Mandy will forget finding the dime because of the all the horrible things that happened to her.
D) Mandy will seize on the dime she found as evidence of astrology’s accuracy.
Answer:
D) Mandy will seize on the dime she found as evidence of astrology’s accuracy.
Explanation:
In psychology, confirmation bias refers to our tendency to look for things and signs that will confirm what we already believe in. According to research in this area, we are biased in our beliefs and tend to ignore any information that may challenge them. As a result, our judgment will be degraded. Mandy will most likely, according to confirmation bias, ignore all of the bad things that took place after she read her horoscope. She will pay attention, however, to the one tiny event that somehow confirms her belief. She will seize on the dime she found as evidence of astrology's accuracy.

Answer:
Interest Rate Risk is the risk that arises for bond owners from fluctuating interest rates. All other things being equal, the longer the time to maturity, the greater the interest rate risk.
Explanation:
Opportunity risk explains the opposite interrelation between the interest rate and bond prices. When an individual purchases bonds, he/she takes it as given that if there is a rise in the interest rate, the person will withdraw from buying the bonds with more tempting returns. Every time the interest rate goes up, the need for current bonds with lower returns goes down since new opportunities to invest appear.
In general, the shorter the time to maturity, the smaller the interest rate risk and vice versa. Long-term bonds suggest a greater possibility of changes in the interest rate.
Answer:
The entire structure of European society changed during the 12th and 13th centuries, and there was a time when this change was attributed largely to the Crusades. Historians now, however, tend to view the Crusades as only one, albeit significant, factor in Europe’s development. It is likely that the disappearance of old families and the appearance of new ones can be traced in part to the Crusades, but generalizations must be made with caution. It should, moreover, be remembered that, while some Crusaders sold or mortgaged their property, usually to ecclesiastical foundations, others bequeathed it to relatives. The loss of life was without doubt considerable; many Crusaders, however, did return to their homes.
Explanation:
There can be little doubt that the Crusades slowed the advance of Islamic power, although how much is an open question. At the very least, they bought Europe some much-needed time. Without centuries of Crusading effort, it is difficult to see how western Europe could have escaped conquest by Muslim armies, which had already captured the rest of the Mediterranean world.
