Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

stress

Explanation:

Edgar is a hardworking person. He seems to complete as many demands as his will power and strength permit him to do so. Yet, humans have physical and mental limits to complete demands of works. And if so many work demands crop up at the same time, anyone, like Edgar, will be in huge stress. Edgar feels he should complete all demands, yet he doesn't have the energy to do it. Hence, he is stressed with tension. And there is the time limit to finish a demand. If the time limit does not allow Edgar to complete all the demands, he must be in stress by exercising too much physical and metal strains.

Imagine that you’re getting ready to move to New York City.When people move, they are influenced by push factors and pull factor

Nitella [24]

The correct answer is A. Wanting to move because you found a great new school somewhere new.

Explanation:

In migration, a pull factor is one that attracts an individual to go to one place, for example, a job opportunity or better living conditions. This differs from a push factor because a push factor motivates a person to leave a place and move to a new one, for example, a war or lack of job opportunities.

In this context, the one that is an example of a pull factor is "Wanting to move because you found a great new school somewhere new" because a great school is a factor that pulls or attracts individuals to a new place. Also, other factors such as not enough resources, jobs, or no home make an individual leave a place or pushes him (push factors).
