Most recent work on the history of leisure In Europe has been based on the central hypothesis of a fundamental discontinuity bet

ween preindustrial and industrial societies. According to this view, the modern idea of leisure did not exist In medieval and early modern Europe: the modern distinction between the categories of work and leisure was a product of Industrial capitalism. Preindustrial societies had festivals (together with Informal and Irregular breaks from work), while industrial societies have leisure in the form of weekends and vacations. The emergence of leisure is therefore part of the process of modernization. If this theory is correct, there is what Michel Foucault called a conceptual rupture between the two periods, and so the v

Answer:should be noted that, first paragraph of the passage enlightens us on the difference between preindustrial and industrial society in Europe and how great was it to an extent that “the modern

distinction between the categories of work and leisure” (lines 4-5) cannot be reasonably applied to the former, which implies that there exists a discontinuity between the two periods.

Furthermore, the second paragraph argues that the discontinuity approach can accommodate historical data.

On a final note, the third paragraph admits that, while it is very useful in some aspects, this approach “can pose problems of its own” (line 25) and it then briefly describes these problems. All this points to Choice E as correct.

The word “dichotomy” as it appears in the last paragraph of the passage. One of the key claims there is that the dichotomy “reduces a great variety … to the simple formula” (lines 31-33). Therefore Choice C is correct.

More so, “Simple dichotomy” is also mentioned in line 26. The passage states that this dichotomy “remains of use in so far as it reminds us that the rise of industrial capitalism” (lines 28-29) was not just an economic phenomenon, but also a social and a cultural phenomenon. This points to Choice A as correct.

We should also not forget that, the main purpose of the passage is to discuss the idea of “the central hypothesis of a fundamental discontinuity between preindustrial and industrial societies” (lines 1-3) in terms of the development of the concept of leisure. Large volume of the passage is focused on demonstrating the usefulness of this hypothesis; nonetheless, the second part of the third paragraph mentions some “distortions” (line 31) that may result if the hypothesis is accepted. Therefore Choice B is correct. Choices A, D, and E are incorrect, as only one hypothesis/solution is discussed in the passage. Choice C is incorrect, as the passage does not mention that the “distortions” (line 31) caused by accepting the hypothesis are illusory

Volgvan

Answer:

The concept of equivalence, also known as economic equivalence, describes the reduction of a series of cash inflows (benefits) and cash outflows (costs) to a single point in time, using a single interest rate, which enables the cash flows to be compared or equated.  This implies that while the amounts and timing of the cash flows (both inflows and outflows) may differ, an appropriate interest rate, factoring in the time value of money, will cause one set to be equal to the other.  Therefore, to establish economic equivalence, series of cash flows that occur at different points in time must be equalized using a single interest rate through present value calculations.

Explanation:

The concept of equivalence describes a combination of a single interest rate and the idea of the time value of money.  This combination helps to determine the different amounts of money at different points in time that are equal in economic value, such that a person would not hesitate to trade one for the other.

For example, if the interest rate is 10% in Year 1 and in Year 2 and you are to be paid $1,000 in Year 1, it will not make any difference to you if you are paid $1,100 in Year 2.  This is because, given the prevailing interest rate of 10%, the value you receive in Year 1 and Year 2 are equivalent.
