Answer:
A
Explanation:
Remember, it all started when Isabel said “Did you guys know that bark scorpions take five years to grow to full size?” she continued “in order to get bigger, they have to shed their hard exoskeleton. It literally cracks open and they crawl out, all soft and defenseless. And then their outer layer toughens up again to
protect them.”
The comparison came when she then said “They’re always growing. They have to take a risk,...we took a risk and shed those shells — and now we’re bigger and tougher than ever!”.
So just as the scorpions were in their state of failure for five years until they shedded their shells, to overcome failure one must take a risk and shed those shells (failures).
I believe the correct answers are:
- an Indo-European language of Germanic origin: this is definitely true as old English (as well as modern English) belongs to the Germanic group of languages, along with Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic), German, Yiddish, etc. And all of them are Indo-European languages
- depended on inflections to indicate gender: this statement is also true. Old English, also known as Anglo-Saxon English, used different suffixes to denote the gender of a noun. So if a noun was female, it would have a different suffix from that of male/neuter gender. This has mostly disappeared from modern English.
- depended on inflections to indicate grammatical form: this statement is also true. Old English used different suffixes to denote the form of a word, such as the tense, or possessive form, etc. This is something that modern English has kept as well, and you can see it in -ed suffix for past tense, or 's used for possessive form.
These three options are definitely correct, whereas 'similar to modern English' is definitely incorrect because they almost look nothing alike. I'm not sure about the mixture of many languages though - it had many dialects, but ultimately it was one Germanic/Viking language, so I don't think other languages influenced it a lot at the time - that came later with Middle English.
Answer:
In business, opportunity costs play a major role in decision-making. If you decide to purchase a new piece of equipment, your opportunity cost is the money spent elsewhere. Companies must take both explicit and implicit costs into account when making rational business decisions.
