The correct answer to number 1 is to outcompete rival businesses.

By lowering prices, Standard Oil Company ensured that citizens and other companies bought their product. This resulted in decreased competition, as other businesses could not compete with their low prices.

The correct answer to number 2 is D) Individual business owners set prices to compete for businesses.

A free market economy is one in which there is little government interference in terms of setting prices. Rather, the "invisble hand" (aka competition) between businesses helps to determine what the actual price will be for the consumers.

The correct answer to number 3 is A)They formed monopolies or trusts.

Monopolies and trusts are when an individual or multiple companies work together to corner a specific market. This results in a drastic decrease of competition, allowing for the monopoly or trust to set whatever price they want for a good or service.

(C) instructed Gary to visualize being on an airplane that developed engine trouble had to make an emergency crash landing.

(D) trained Gary in a technique called progressive relaxation

Systematic desensitization is a type of technique used in cognitive therapy and it is based on the principle of classical conditioning.

The goal of this technique is to remove a phobia or a stimuli that causes anxiety and substitute it with a relaxation response.

This technique has three phases:

  1. The patient is taught deep relaxation and breathing exercises.
  2. The patient creates a fear hierarchy starting at stimuli that provoke the least anxiety and building up to the most fear provoking ones. The patient starts at the bottom of the hierarchy with the least unpleasant stimuli and practices the relaxation technique.  
  3. The patient practices this relaxation until the stimuli doesn't provoke any anxiety and then he continues with the next stimuli in the hierarchy until he reaches the top stimuli and the anxiety is removed.

In this example, Gary found out that his job requires air travel and he's afraid to fly. His psychologist will use systematic desensitization, therefore, the first step will have to do with teaching Gary deep relaxation techniques and breathing exercises, this technique is called progressive relaxation. Therefore, the correct answer will be d. trained Gary in a technique called progressive relaxation
