Methods are needed to reduce social desirability bias. Such methods may include the wording and prefacing of questions, clearly defining the role of “study participant,” and assessing and addressing motivations for socially desirable responses
The answer is that adjusting to the end of the commodity boom, which benefited South America particularly, has taken longer than expected. Between 2003 and 2010 China’s industrialisation boosted demand for minerals, oil and foodstuffs. Commodity prices fell steadily between 2010 and 2015. As export revenue shrank, the region’s currencies weakened, curbing imports and pushing up inflation.
Latin America also faces a fiscal squeeze. The commodity boom temporarily boosted tax revenues. Too many governments spent, rather than invested or saved, this windfall. The primary fiscal deficit (ie, before interest payments) in the region as a whole increased from 0.2% of GDP in 2013 to 2.6% last year. In other words, public debt is rising. Many governments have started to retrench. Few are in a position to prime the pump of recovery.
Answer:
We have to find the author, time, intended audience, main idea, context, bias, and accuracy of the text.
Author - a candidate for government office.
Time - government election campaign.
Intended audience - potential voters.
Main idea - the candidate is the only one who can be trusted with taxpayer money, and this is crucial because taxpayer money is being wasted.
Context - Government intervention does more harm than good: raising taxes on successful businesses to fund failing public schools only has the effect of both reducing wealth creation, and educating children poorly.
Bias - the candidate has anti-goverment bias.
Accuracy - the candidate does not provide evidence to back his claims in the speech, thus, the accuracy of it cannot be properly gauged.
Answer:
the answer is b that is the correct answer i looked it up
I think that the best answer is
<span>B people were not careful about preventing waste and contamination, although one could also find good arguments in favour of A and C.
A big problem was that oil was very easy to find, so people didn't protect every source and were often wasteful, letting the oil spill to the ground.
Taking precautions to prevent pollution is always more costly than not doing it, so it could be argue that this did not change, and is therefore not applicable as an answer to this question.</span>
