Answer:

The correct answer is: D. an availability heuristic

Explanation:

The heuristic is a mental process we use in problem resolution and taking decisions in a short time <em>-mental shortcuts</em>-, although it is not always perfect and has limitations or errors. It is commonly based on prior experiences.

According to this example, Dan is basing his decision on Availability Heuristic, because he recently had watched a television program about rabies so he had that information at the top of his mind, it was recent. That is why he immediately associated the information with what he saw and decided the animal was infected.

Unlike representativeness heuristic wich is used to make judgments about the probability of something; it considers information from different sources and makes comparisons in order to find similarities and then make a decision.

Digiron [165]

Answer:    C) Should give Claudio the answer because the answer to such a question does not entail giving legal advice

Explanation:  Having a middle name or several middle names is quite common and legal, but also not having a middle name is legal. This means that when filling out form a, depending on the state, one can, for example, put the initials N.M.N. (no middle name) or similar. Also, if there is one, the middle name can be indicated in the name by initials. All of this, when filling out the form, you may also ask the salter clerk or anyone who knows this information reliably and not the legal, though if you are in the situation you may as well.

Legal advice as such is given solely by a lawyer, and it concerns important matters when careful analysis of regulations and the law as a whole is needed. No careful analysis is required to fill in a form without a middle name, it is simple to know whether to enter a middle name and what to do if one does not have a middle name. This is simply known by clerk who work on a daily basis to receive completed forms.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Walmart will be targeted the countries of America in progress.

Explanation:

The first target will be Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, because from the continent, in the south part, are the countries with more progress, with an active economy, an stable currency.
