The correct answers are B) "The price a consumer is willing to pay for a garden hose—its “perceived value”—is a lot higher in Germany than in the United States." And C) "If you want to buy a bottle of water while strolling through Central Park, you may be in for a shock."
Those are the sentences from the passage that support the idea that prices vary for complicated reasons.
The passage states that most consumers look for the best quality item for the lowest possible price and that the price they are willing to pay is influenced by many factors such as the wage they earn at work, how much they need the item, the amount of money they pay for their food, housing, and clothing. These factors change from one place to another and of course, prices too.
That is why is so difficult to understand that a bottle of water in your city cost $1.99, but in Central Park, New York, the same bottle different label can cost twice or more...and people pay it because they agree with the cost and the necessity that is satisfying. The same with the hose in Germany. It that is the correct value Germans assign to the function of the hose, they have no problem to pay an expensive price.
Allusion, an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference.
Cannot answer the second one hince i do not have the correct info.
She seems to be logical and knowledgeable due to her grabbing the book making sure it's not venomous, she got padding just in case it would strike, and she knew snakes could hear
Answer with Explanation:
Yes, I agree with the assertion that the desire to belong is a very powerful-if not the most powerful-human emotion. It stems from the human need of <em>"belongingness." </em>People live in a society, thus it is very natural for them to want to belong, so they can be accepted.
This desire is powerful and it can be explained in many situations. For example, a girl is very close with his girlfriends. One day, she noticed that each of them bought the latest gadget in school. Since she wanted to fit in and be accepted by them, she'll also ask her parents to buy her the same gadget.
<u>However, there are disadvantages to having such a powerful desire depending on your motivation.</u> If a person's motivation to belong is<em> due to pleasing other people, then he will feel more lonely and dissatisfied. </em>He will then follow a pattern of seeking approval every time.

<em>Hello, this is Harry Potter. The date is 5/12/1999.</em>
<em>After the discovery of Tom Riddle's diary, I decided I ought to do some writing myself. For all I know Lucius Malfoy will have me murdered by tomorrow for giving that bloody sock to Dobby. I don't deserve it, Dobby tried to have me killed twenty times this year. At least. But I'm finished with this whole saving the world scam. Voldemort is gone. I need to focus on my education... Or at least that's what Hermione says.</em>
<em>I've finished exams and am supposed to be packing, but I bought this in Hogsmeade and figured I ought to make my first entry. I'll be stuck going back to the Dursley's for the summer, and I'm not thrilled but at least I'll still have a wand to wave and a school to look forward to returning to. I thought for sure that I'd be expelled after the flying car. </em>
<em>Well, Hermione and Ron are having a row again, I ought to go sort them out... til tomorrow then,</em>
<h2><em>Harry Potter</em></h2>
Hope this helps :)
