City Controller: 63% of our residents voted to approve the developer's request to build a national chain hotel on the site of th

e old consignment store. The hotel will increase our revenue base and, therefore, provide more money for schools and community services.Mayor: But our recent survey showed that the most important reason people want to live here is our small-town feel resulting from the local ownership of the vast majority of businesses.
What is the best explanation for the apparent contradiction in opinions cited by the controller and the mayor?

a) Most people believe having a small-town feel is more important than having quality schools.
b) A locally-owned business might be able to generate as much revenue as a well-known hotel chain.
c) The recent survey did not ask about preferences for a chain hotel versus a locally-owned bed and breakfast.
d) An increase in the town's revenue base may not result in additional money for the schools.
e) The recent survey cited by the mayor polled people who are considering moving to the town.

Answer:

E. The recent survey cited by the mayor polled people who are considering moving to the town.

Explanation:

The last option best demonstrates the contradiction in opinions of the city controller as he is considering the votes of the local residents but what Mayor overlooks is the number of people moving to the towns. Thus, <em>this contradicts their initial survey that provides a scope for the growth of businesses due to being supported by locals but that is not the case due to people migrating to towns. Therefore, option E best contradicts the opinion of the Mayor and the City controller.</em>

write a paragraph of about 100 words explaining some of the problems you face when you listen to a lecture​
asambeis [7]
The problems of listening to a lecture could go on and on. There are a copious amount of different variables that take place when a lecture is being orally presented. “Is the lecture interesting?” “Who is presenting the lecture?” “Who’s in the audience?” So very often we find ourselves bored while listening to a lecture due to the sheer fact of the presenters voice. The only problem that occurs while listening to a lecture is the personality and preference of the one who is listening.
