Answer:

The correct answer is: Positive reinforcement.

Explanation:

Positive reinforcement is a technique used in operant conditioning and it consists of rewarding behavior considered positive by using a reinforcer after the subject elicits the behavior.

It follows this schema: Behavior considered positive -----> reward --------> Behavior is more likely to happen again.

In this particular case, the behavior that wants to be reinforced is Mary Speaking in English. When Mary speaks in English their family proceeds to reinforce that behavior by passing her the potatoes.

Answer:

b) negative reinforcement

Explanation:

Negative reinforcement has to do with rewarding or responding to a certain stimulus or behaviour by respond in a negative or averse manner.

Mary tries to change Pearl's behaviour by refusing to making a comment or responding to Pearl speaking her native language when she's capable of expressing herself in English. They do this so she would learn to speak English more and get used to it.

Pearl's family are using negative reinforcement to try and get her to speak English more often. If she uses her native language, she is ignored and not replied to unless she repeats her words in English. Ignoring her is the averse method her family is using to get her to respond to the stimulus of speaking English.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The correct option is E: regulating the use of bicycles mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an  hour, required cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all  times, and granted

Explanation:

In Option A has problems with parallelism. The "IT" before the granted made the sentence not to be parallel.

In Option B, the problem i find with this one is that there is no "and" before the granting. You cannot have a list in a sentence without an "and" before the last item on the list

Option C is also wrong because it is not parallel. Mandated cannot be parallel to "it granted". Same error as the first.

Option D is also wrong because it is incorrect to use "ing" forms as verb.

Option E: This eliminates all the errors from the previous options, hence is the correct option.

Punitive damages are intended to punish the defendant for conduct that is extreme and outrageous. True or False
balandron [24]

That statement is true

On most cases, the punishment given to the defendant would be equal to the damages that the defendant caused to the victim.

In some circumstances, on the other hand, the court might punish the defendant with punitive damage. This will make the defendant receive harsher punishment that exceeds the damage that the defendant caused to the victim.

usually, punitive damages only given to dangerous violation in order to set up an example for other citizens to avoid that same violation.
