Answer: The opportunity cost of an item is what you give up to get that item. In this case, Pat's opportunity cost of making a pizza is the amount of root beer she gives up brewing. Making a pizza takes her 2 hours; if instead she spent her time producing root beer, she would produce 2 gal * (1 gal rb/ 4 hrs)=1/2 gallon . Similar calculations yield an opportunity cost of 2/3 gallons of root beer for one pizza for Kris.

Pat Correct has an absolute advantage in making pizza, and Pat Correct has a comparative advantage in making pizza

After the revolutionary war which branch of government and the states Make more powerful
Sedbober [7]
By the end of the revolutionary war the new government was formed as a confederation of independent states which were loosely linked to one another.

While initially seen as a strength, things eventually became difficult to manage as many states started to print their own money, make their own international trade pacts and were even building their own independent military.

This was seen as a threat to a new nation and constitutional convention was conducted in Philadelphia. 12 out of the 13 States participated in this convention with the aim of providing some kind of a homogeneity to the new country.

By the end of the convention, the constitution gave way to 3 different branches of government which still form the core of the United States:

1. The Legislative Branch

2. The Executive Branch

3. The Judicial Branch

dezoksy [38]

Answer: You have just committed an attributional bias called: fundamental attribution error.

Explanation: attributional bies reffers to errors made when people try to explain their own behaviour or other's people behaviour based on their own analysis of social situations. In this case, it's a fundamental attribution error because Mark is making an assumption on Allison's behaviour not considering the influence of situational factors and overemphasising the role of dispositional factors such as the distraction Allison may have in her current actions.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

It is only in the past few years that women in the armed services of the United States have been permitted to be active combatants in a battlefield setting. While this has taken place over a number of years and has evolved for a variety of reasons, it is also reasonable to suggest that it has happened in part because of:

a. increased militarization worldwide.

b. greater global threat levels.

c. increased terrorist activity.

d. a shortage of qualified male soldiers.

Answer: a. increased militarization worldwide.

Explanation:

Women have been allowed to serve as an official part of the U.S. military in noncombat positions after Congress founded the Army Nurse Corps (1901). Women were also radio operators, logistical personnel and even helicopter pilots and tank technicians.

Increased militarization worldwide has expanded the United State´s female participation in combat since the early 1990s, when women were allowed to work in aviation and naval combat, and especially since 2016, when they were allowed to work all ground combat jobs.
