Scarcity is the central concept in the study of economics. Individuals demand products to satisfy their needs. Those products are elaborated using certain resources that are scarce hence, limited. Therefore, economics is the science that studies the allocation of products for consumer satisfaction given that the supply of resources is scarce.

The opportunity cost is defined as the cost of the best alternative that has been rejected when making a decision in an environment of scarcity. For example, considering that money is the scarce resource, a consumer can only afford to either buy one orange or two pears. He knows that the orange would provide a higher satisfaction to him and buys it. Therefore, the rejected alternative, the two pears, consitute the opportunity cost. If there was no scarcity, this consumer would have been able to purchase the two options, not only the most preferred.

These crops grow using the winter water stored in the soil, rather than depending on rainfall during the growing season. Dryland farmed crops may include winter wheat, maize, beans, sunflowers or even watermelon.

Dry farming is cultivation of crops in regions with annual rainfall less thsan 750mm. Crop failure is most common due to prolonged dry spells during crop period. These are arid regions with a growing season (period of adequate soil moisture) less than 75 days.

Elanso [62]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

One of the “don’ts” in analyzing or evaluating a primary source is to avoid recreating the author’s experience of his society.

No, I don't agree with this statement because I consider that in order to truly understand the primary source, a good researcher has to understand the circumstance and the time in which the primary source was created.

This means, if it was during a war or a revolutionary period, the researcher has to understand and think as the author of the source did.

ANd I am clear using my words: understand. Not biasing the records, the facts, or misinterpret the situation, the context, or the facts.
