Answer:

Paul, because he is younger, taller, and likely more muscular

Explanation:

The basal metabolic rate refers to the rate at which endothermic organisms, including humans, burn their energy. Not everybody has the same metabolic rate. Differences on metabolic rate can be accounted for by differences in sex, height, body mass, age, but also by genetic differences and overall fitness. In our case, <u>Paul, being an athlete is clearly the one who would have the higher basal metabolic rate, he is younger, taller, and likely more muscular than Rick, who apart from that is a salesman and thus he probably doesn't get as much exercise as Paul</u>. Generally speaking, as we age, our metabolism slows down, which only worsens when leading a sedentary lifestyle.

WARRIOR [948]

Machiavellian virtue this is a political virtue that responds to the appeal of the public world. More than a virtue, it is a virtuosity - it is the skill that, in Machiavelli's view, anyone who aspires to be a great political leader must have. Someone with the talent, creativity and willingness to respond to the call of his time and to rise to it.

They are similar theories, which resemble the form of morality and virtue and differ in the way one sees them.

pogonyaev

Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Jeremy sells encyclopedias for a company,visiting each house in a particular neighborhood and convincing the residents to buy the books.

The people at the first few homes asked some questions, and even though he was not able to provide satisfactory answers, Jeremy understood the questions were being asked. To provide satisfactory answers to the next person, what step must Jeremy take?

a. Prepare

b. Rephrase the question

c. Use organizational signposts

d. Stay on message

Answer:

The best answer is letter A. prepare.

Explanation:

This is a simple problem of preparation. Jeremy was perfectly able to understand the questions, but he did not have a satisfactory answer to give. That means he is most likely lacking the necessary knowledge to provide a good answer. Before he begins visiting houses again, Jeremy must prepare. He must ask someone from his company or, in case he has received any, read the material given to him by his employers to find the information the residents need. Also, it would be advisable for him to come up with a list of possible questions and their answers, so that he won't be often taken by surprise when residents come up with different questions.
