The correct answer is: "negative utility".

The utility of the first candy, the satisfaction that the consumer gained when eating the bar is very large . Absolute utility continues growing with each extra bar eaten, although the size of the utility increase is lower from the 3rd to the 4th bar, than from the 1st to the 2nd. Absolute utility grows because more utility is accumulated by each extra bar eaten, but marginal utility gained by passing from one to the next is lower each time.

If the amount of bars consumed is extremely large it can end up generating negative utility. It means that the extra bars up a point, do not bring satisfaction but insatisfacion. In this example, it is easy to imagine the stomachache you might probably have after eating 15 chocolate bars. and hence the negative satisfaction that the consumer would experience.

Answer:

Cherry-Picking of Evidence.

Cherry-picking of evidence is the idea in which a person looks for the confirmation of his/her ideas. In this, ideas that are contradicting, and non conforming to one's ideas are neglected and not taken into account. Cherry-picking is also known as the fallacy of incomplete evidence.

Shkiper50 [21]

This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

You go to the movies after a long day and you begin to nod off as soon as the movie starts. Your head starts to lower a little, but a reflex causes your head to rise. This is called the ________ reflex.

A. tendon

B. crossed extension

C. withdrawal

D. stretch (myotatic)

E. flexor (withdrawal)

Answer:

This is called the D. stretch (myotatic) reflex.

Explanation:

Myotatic reflexes are stretch reflexes that function to maintain the muscle at a constant length. They cause the muscle to contract after it is stretched. This type of reflex does not rely on cerebral input for function. When the muscle lengthens, its spindle is stretched. That increases the nerve activity which, in its turn, increases alpha motor neuron activity. The fibers of the muscle then contract. That is precisely what causes your head to rise when you start to nod off.
