Answer:

"What we attain too cheap we esteem too lightly."

Explanation:

"The Crisis" by Thomas Paine is an extremely persuasive document. Part of this success is the fact that it contains many excellent exercises on rhetoric. One of the literary devices that is present in this text is antithesis. Antithesis is a rhetorical device in which two ideas which are usually opposed are placed together in a sentence in order to achieve a contrasting effect. In this text, an example of antithesis would be:

<em>"What we attain too cheap we esteem too lightly."</em>

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The best options is:

D. It keeps prices fair for consumers.

Explanation:

<u>In capitalism, anyone can become a producer or manufacturer and start selling their products to consumers. That means there is competition between different producers, since they will each want consumers to buy their products so that they (the producers) can profit from selling. To achieve that, they are more likely to establish better/lower prices. That way, the chances of attracting consumers to buy their products increase.</u> In a system that is not capitalist, it may very well be that there is only one producer for that product. In that case, consumers would have no choice but to buy that product for whatever price it is sold at.
