Answer: B. Economies of Scale.

Explanation:

ECONOMIES OF SCALE is a situation where costs are reduced because production rises. This is usually the case with larger firms because they are able to produce more goods which translates to the fall of their cost per good.

For example, a firm has fixed costs of $3000 regardless of if they produce 10 products or 100. If they produce only 10 then it's $300 per product in cost as opposed to producing 100 which is $30 per product in cost. The problem is that only larger firms could be able to produce above 10 goods.

The Houston based funeral house is considered a GIANT so they are probably benefitting from ECONOMIES OF SCALE.

1. That statement is false

Negative peer pressure is a form of peer pressure to do something that would have negative effect to your life.  Since being talked into volunteering into people in need would bring positive effect to your life, this whole situation would be considered as a positive peer pressure.

2. That statement is false

Flattering other people because we want something from them is considered as a manipulation, not a harassment.

To be considered as a harassment, that people need to create a certain level of discomfort or intimidation due to offensive action or language. If the person is genuinely flattered, we can't consider it as a harassment.

3. That statement is false

The best course of action to deal with high-pressure situation is to use our Refusal skills.

Refusal skills refers to our ability to disengage/avoid being involved in necessarily risky behavior. This skill is very important in high-pressure situation.

Aggressive skills tend to be more appropriate to be used in less-risky situations.

4. That statement is true

Assertive people operates on their own standard of principles and they are unwilling to compromise those principles under any circumstances.

Through dating , we will have more time to observe our partner's behavior due to the amount of time that we spend together. IN the long run, this will help us feel more comfortable with that other person and we will start to understand the general principle/moral values that our partner held.

6. That statement is true

Both decisions would have their own advantage disadvantage.

Begin dating would help them learn about how to develop close/intimate relationship with other people, but it would take a lot of their time.

Remain abstinent would help them focus on their academics, but it would damage their social status and make it harder for them to connect with others when the do need one.

7. That statement is true

What make a certain action or behavior 'risky'  is the fact that it would trap us in uncertain situations that can damage/destroy our life at any moment.

By planning ahead, we can identify each risks and think about positive and negative value that we can get before hand. This would eliminate the 'uncertainty' and help us avoid the behaviors that had high probability of damaging our life.
