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

In this book it is stated that the Israelites had a different believed, as they believed in monotheism, from the Egyptian pharaoh. Nevertheless, the pharaoh didn’t let them free, on the opposite, he became mistrustful of them, as their population increased, and made them work as slaves. Nevertheless, God send horrible suffering to every firstborn Egyptian son; plagues of insects, sickness and death.

Narcissism

If Glenda is a narcisist, she will use social media to showcase how good or superior she perceives herself to be, and how great her life is in regards to everyone else's life, even if in reality, her life is average, and her personal qualities are not extraordinary. This would cause constant cognitive disonance, self-esteem issues, and obsessive social media use.
