It would be the first option, as strike here is acting as a verb

The correct answer is the second option - <span>to occur unexpectedly and have destructive or harmful effects.
</span>Here, the word struck is just a past form of the verb to strike, meaning to happen unexpectedly and have dire consequences, like an earthquake can hit California, in this case. The final definition is a noun, and does not fit in the context of the original sentence.

Answer:

The main topic would be <em>the free enterprise system</em>

Explanation:

The free enterprise system is a type of economy used in capitalism where the market determines the price of the products and services and not the government, so each individual should be able to make their own economic decision without any problem or restriction. It's an economy where busiess are free from government control and the only thing that would determine their success or failure would be the supply and demand of the consumers.

So you would have to <em>choose and make some research about an entrepreneur </em>and explain if you think that this system helped that person to make an impact on the business world and what's your posture about it: do you think it works? do you think it's good? Bad? Does it help? Is it fair? Why?; all that using <em>arguments </em>acording to what the free enterprise system is.
