The correct answers are B) "The price a consumer is willing to pay for a garden hose—its “perceived value”—is a lot higher in Germany than in the United States." And C) "If you want to buy a bottle of water while strolling through Central Park, you may be in for a shock."
Those are the sentences from the passage that support the idea that prices vary for complicated reasons.
The passage states that most consumers look for the best quality item for the lowest possible price and that the price they are willing to pay is influenced by many factors such as the wage they earn at work, how much they need the item, the amount of money they pay for their food, housing, and clothing. These factors change from one place to another and of course, prices too.
That is why is so difficult to understand that a bottle of water in your city cost $1.99, but in Central Park, New York, the same bottle different label can cost twice or more...and people pay it because they agree with the cost and the necessity that is satisfying. The same with the hose in Germany. It that is the correct value Germans assign to the function of the hose, they have no problem to pay an expensive price.
The google definition of the verb exact is "to demand and obtain from someone"
This leads me to believe that the answer would be C. take by force.
Answer:
High school junior Camelia thought her powers of psychometry only gave her the ability to sense the future through touch. But now she’s started to hear voices. Mean voices. Berating her, telling her how ugly she is, and that she’d be better off dead. It’s a troubling development that has Camelia terrified for her mental stability, especially since her deranged aunt with a suicidal history just moved into the family house. More torturing, ex-boyfriend Ben, who has similar psychometric abilities, has been spending more time with their classmate Alejandra, even as her own feelings for Adam grow stronger. Even her closest friends, Kimmie and Wes, are not sure how to handle her erratic behavior. Still, the bond between Camelia and Ben is palpable.
With the line between right and wrong fraying, Camelia turns to pottery to get a grasp on her emotions. She begins sculpting a beautiful figure skater, only to receive frightening premonitions that someone’s in danger. But who is the victim? And how can Camelia help them when she is on the brink of losing her own sanity?
In the midst of losing your own sanity, would you be completely absorbed in protecting someone else? Every time I read about Camelia, I'm baffled. This girl either has a hero complex or she is just so amazingly genuinely good-hearted that she simply wants to save everyone. However, I'm leaning more towards the hero complex. No matter what, this girl just can't stay away from helping someone she THINKS could be in danger.
This book is a page turner, just like its predecessors. I read it in one go and couldn't put it down. And like the others, it is so much fun to read alone at night. It's just enough suspense to give you that thrill while still ensuring a decent night's sleep. If you don't pick up another book, that is. The writing of the book is very fast paced making it an extremely easy and fun read. Laurie keeps you on the edge of your seat guessing and wondering what will happen next as Camelia and crew continue on their journey to understand the strange power of psychometry.
