Answer:

Urban sprawl is the progression of urbanized areas on the outskirts of cities faster than population growth. The main attractions of sub-urban areas compared to city centers are for those who reside there: advantageous cost of land and real estate, the possibility of living in a detached house and a living environment closer to natural environments. It is the improvement of transport conditions and in particular access to the automobile that has enabled this residential urban sprawl. The ease of getting to the city center ever faster and farther and farther thanks to improvements in transport services allows the continuous enlargement of agglomerations.

This type of housing requires for each resident a greater use of transport, in particular of the automobile, than in the city center. On the other hand, individual housing, which corresponds to the aspirations of many households in sub-urban areas, proportionately emits much more greenhouse gases than collective housing in urban centers.

Urban sprawl thus has serious consequences on the environment and global warming, particularly on local ecosystems.

Answer: C. An accounts receivable is always created.

The basic idea behind Accounts Receivable is based on its name. Accounts Receivable is the money you have earned, but which has not yet been received ( it's not "cash in hand" yet). It means you have already provided a service or delivered a product to the customer (cash outflow), but have not yet received your payment (cash inflow). If a customer doesn't pay at the time of sale, it means that an accounts receivable should be created.

Answer:

Option C. The spread of Agriculture along the Nile river portrays Human - Environment interaction.

Explanation:

Nile river holds one of the oldest civilisations of the world, the agriculture was practised along this river even during the ancient times. We know that, the civilisations gradually moved and resided along rivers from the mountains. The main reason for this was the availability of water and fertile soil which best suited for the practice of agriculture.

The human life took a turn once people started living along the rivers as people moved from hunting and eating animals to agriculture and domestication of useful animals.

Thus, the agriculture along the Nile river best portrays the Human - Environment interaction.

Explanation:

Basically, Hobbes thought that once laws were proposed with the "reward" for following them being protections, people would be more likely to follow said laws because people in nature constantly wanted more power and they would be able to submit easier underneath rulers if they received protections for their cooperation.

A theory of how consumers decide what to buy

Andrei [34K]

1)The lifestyle of a consumer will influence on his behavior and purchasing decisions. For example, a consumer with a healthy and balanced lifestyle will prefer to eat organic products and go to specific grocery stores, will do some jogging regularly (and therefore will buy shoes, clothes and specific products),

2)Cultural trends or “Bandwagon effect” are defined as trends widely followed by people and which are amplified by their mere popularity and by conformity or compliance with social pressure. The more people follow a trend, the more others will want to follow it.

3)The membership groups of an individual are social groups to which he belongs and which will influence him. The membership groups are usually related to its social origin, age, place of residence, work, hobbies, leisure, etc..
