Answer:

The best answer to the question: Who would aregue that Donald weighed the potential costs and benefits of shooting the victim and decided to pull the trigger as a result of free will, would be, D: A rational choice theorist.

Explanation:

Rational choice theory is a perspective that helps to understand human behavior and the choices that a person, or a group, makes, in light of the options, and preferences, that that person has, given a certain situation. As such, anyone who applies this perspective will take a given circumstance and look at all the possible options available to correctly form a reaction to it, including weighing all the consequences, the benefits and the potential costs of making such a choice. In light of this perspective, Donald was faced by a difficult circumstance in which his life was on the line. Measuring all the possibilities, and overseeing the possible outcomes, Donald makes the choice, even if under duress, to pull out the gun and shoot his partner, instead of simply running away. In light of the rational choice theory, Donald made the choice of his preference after weighing all the possibilities.

3. He should encourage audience participation by asking questions or requesting examples.

Explanation:

When an audience is not engaged in a speech it means that they are not interested in the contents of the speech or rather the way contents have been presented.

The purpose of a speech is to impart knowledge to a large group of people if the audience is not interested in the speech then the main function of a speech is not fulfilled. The speaker should not ignore the speech or provide additional data but instead, encourage the audience to participate. This would involve the audience in the speech.

Hence the answer is 3. He should encourage audience participation by asking questions or requesting examples.

Answer:

American revolution might bring ruin to Georgia because if Great Britain Wins the war the consequences on a political and economic or prospective would be catastrophically.  

Explanation:

A Georgia loyalist would think in terms of consequence and counteraction when it comes to the American Revolution.

The United States where not born yet so there was no political structure to help States transitioning from England towards independence and there were no historical precedent for a movement of that type, so many people who were loyalist were Simply afraid of a situation that could turn out badly very fast.

they also take into consideration the possibility that Great Britain could win, which could have led the Empire to massive counteraction in order to prevent another Revolution.

Also many loyalists were Rich People so before they could have a lot of loss from this Revolution since their source of income was based on trade with Great Britain
