The correct answer is A.

Scarcity is an ongoing condition in the world that affects every single country and person, independently of the level of income. It is referred to the existence of limited resources to satisfy unlimited needs. Therefore it requires decission making processes to rank needs and to direct those scarce resources to cover the ones considered more important. Time is a resource, therefore it does not matter how much money you have, it is impossible to do two activities simultaneously, hence, you have to decide and you are affected by scarcity.

On the other hand, a shortage is caused due to a temporary unbalance in a market, specifically when the quantity demanded by consumers exceeds the quantity supplied by the companies operating on it. The result is that some customers will not be able to buy the product they wanted and that the firms could have made higher profits in they had organized better. Due to this temporary misadjustment, prices of the product will go up and less people would demand the product once it has become more expensive. In the end, market forces will reestablish the equilibrium, where the amounts supplied and demanded are equal.

President Reagan’s speech at the Brandenburg gate commonlit
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: here you go:

Explanation:

We come to Berlin, we American Presidents, because it's our duty to speak, in this place, of freedom. But I must confess, we're drawn here by other things as well: by the feeling of history in this city, more than 500 years older than our own nation; by the beauty of the Grunewald and the Tiergarten; most of all, by your courage and determination. Perhaps the composer, Paul Lincke, understood something about American Presidents. You see, like so many Presidents before me, I come here today because wherever I go, whatever I do: "Ich hab noch einen koffer in Berlin." [I still have a suitcase in Berlin.]

Our gathering today is being broadcast throughout Western Europe and North America. I understand that it is being seen and heard as well in the East. To those listening throughout Eastern Europe, I extend my warmest greetings and the good will of the American people. To those listening in East Berlin, a special word: Although I cannot be with you, I address my remarks to you just as surely as to those standing here before me. For I join you, as I join your fellow countrymen in the West, in this firm, this unalterable belief: Es gibt nur ein Berlin. [There is only one Berlin.]

...

And now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom. We hear much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and openness. Some political prisoners have been released. Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed. Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater freedom from state control. Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes in the West, or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it? We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.

There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

...

As I looked out a moment ago from the Reichstag, that embodiment of German unity, I noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner, "This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality." Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.

Read the summary about factory work during the Industrial Revolution.
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Factory work was not easy. First of all, it involved long hours. Typical factory workers put in twelve-hour days, six days a week, and there were few holidays. Moreover, most workers had to do the same simple tasks over and over each day. At the same time, they had to work fast to keep pace with the machines they tended. Finally, factory work could be dangerous. <u>Fingers, hair, and clothing often got caught in the many gears and belts of machines, making accidents common.</u> Also,<u> textile mills were filled with cotton dust, which damaged the lungs of the workers who breathed it in.</u>

<u />

The writers opinion is that the factory workers live a hard life.
