Alice, a sophomore in high school, is walking home from school. Jim, one of the "cool" upperclassmen, approached her and asks to
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:    Cannon-Bard

Explanation:  Unlike some other theories that deal with the occurrence of emotions and physiological changes in the body, according to this theory, physiological changes in the body and the occurrence of emotions occur <em>at the same time</em>. So a physiological change, such as a pounding of the heart in this case, and a sense of excitement came at the same time due to an external event, in this case when Jim approached Alice.

The reason for this claim is that the physiological changes in the body and the feeling of emotion are separate, i.e independent from each other and located in different parts of the brain, so they can simultaneously react to a stimulus. Physiological changes do not have to occur first, and only then emotions, which would be the case if they were not separate, that is, they were not independent.

A major problem that has slowed the economic development of Latin America has been
satela [25.4K]
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.
