Answer:    A. Fixed-ratio

Explanation:  This fixed ratio implies a reinforcement schedule where the total response is reinforced, i.e rewarded only after a certain number of responses, i.e the total response consists of several repeated responses. This is otherwise a term from operant conditioning, when, for example, a dog is rewarded with food only when a few, such as ten times, repeat an action. Food is reinforcement, after which a certain rate of reactions, i.e repetition of action by the dog, continues. This rate is fixed because after every ten repetitions, the dog will receive reinforcement, that is food.

In this case, which is a little different, it is a carpet installer, although the same fixed-rate reinforcement was applied. Had Blake hit the hourly job, he could have gotten a certain number of dollars every hour, dollars are a reinforcement. However, he would not have to do the same amount of work every hour, i.e repeated actions, and would earn the same amount of dollars.

This way how actually he hit a deal, only with the same number of repeated actions, i.e square foot, will receive the same amount of dollars. So after every fixed rate of work done, that is, certain number of square foot, Blake gets a reward.

Check Point #2:What were the things the Federalists and the Democratic Republicans
Finger [1]
The Federalists believed that American foreign policy should favor British interests, while Democratic Republicans wanted to strengthen ties with the French because they supported the French government that took over in 1789. Democratic Republicans wanted to protect the rights of the working class. Federalists saw industry and manufacturing as the best means of economic self sufficiency. During the War of 1812, the Federalists didn’t agree with the war because it would damage their trade with European countries. Most Americans saw the War of 1812 as a victory over Britain so by 1816 the Federalist party died out.
