Option D i.e Opportunity Costs is the correct answer.

Economists define trade-offs in simple terms as a situational decision where a person chooses a thing over the sacrifice of another thing,owning to limited resources and time.

Opportunity Cost of a choice is what you gave up to get it. For example, you gave up the idea of watching movie tomorrow in order to go for a dinner.

The correct answer is D, opportunity costs. Making (economic) decisions requires trading off one good, service or experience against another. Most of us cannot acquire everything we want, so often we have to make decisions on what to buy or how to invest our limited resources - eating out or going to the movies, buying that video-game or saving the money for a new bicycle, traveling to the mountain or to the beach. By choosing one rather than the other, we are trading off, that is, making a sacrifice and renouncing to our other preferred choice. In these examples, if you decide to go to the movies, the opportunity cost is the loss of the possibility of eating out.

How did democracy and other forms of government develop in Greece?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

it started in 5th Century BCE by Cleisthenes

Explanation:

Cleisthenes Introduced the concept of demokratia. Which can be translated as "People power". It's a concept that he developed as an alternative from a monarchy system which often put one king in an absolute position of power. Many of them ended up becoming tryannical and supress his own people.

To create a fairer society, he proposed a new concept of government, where the people were involved in the creation of laws and government program.

He elected a group of people with a lottery (purely based on luck) in order to act as "jurors", which is basically the representative of the people. The jurors can directly cast out their vote to determine which type of legislations should be created in their community.

Why was thomas paine's common sense important during the movement for independence?
bearhunter [10]

Answer: Thomas Paine published Common Sense. This small pamphlet had a big effect on colonists and moved many Americans to support independence from Great Britain. Colonists were persuaded by the logic of Paine's arguments, which included that the Atlantic Ocean was too wide to allow Britain to rule America as well as an American government could, that it was foolish to think an island could rule a continent, and that the idea of Britain being America's "mother country" made Britain's actions all the worse because no mother would treat her children so badly.
