Answer: The answer is stark.

Explanation:

    This excerpt is the final stanza of a poem called <em>Spring and All</em> written by William Carlos Williams. In general terms, in the poem there's a description of very gloomy and somber scenery on a winter day. However, towards the end of the fourth stanza, there is a change: Spring slowly makes its way. What the person describes is a desolate landscape but he is beginning to notice some hints of springtime. This turn from winter to spring does't happen immediately and this is where the answer to this question comes.

     According to the Longman Dictionary, <u>stark</u> means "very plain in appearance, with little or no colour or decoration." This word in this last stanza of the poem has a negative connotation. It makes reference to the dying plants and their remains, a dull lifeless scenery in winter. The rest of the excerpt carries a positive connotation. Although there's no sudden growth of plants, there will be a slow transformation, where roots will be strong enough to awaken.

Stark

This word has the most negative connotation because stark means "severe or bare in appearance or outline" meaning it has a ghastly appearance.

Answer:

Feldman designed a beautiful economic experiment.

Explanation:

he Microeconomics Theory is a branch of economic science that aims, among other things, to understand the behavior of economic agents: consumers and firms.

From the description of the text, what Feldman did was just that. He developed a methodology capable of analyzing the behavior of firms in certain circumstances. Thus, this can be considered a good economic experiment, since from this can be made inferences that can give the government the basis to take regulatory measures to combat the inappropriate behavior of opportunistic firms.
