Answer:
At the beginning of the story, Greg Ridley is in a bad mood and is dreading the lecture from his father, knowing what was going to happen.
At the end of the story, Greg is anticipating a lecture from his dad once again, but this time, he is happy and smiles at the thought of it.
This change occurs because Lemon Brown tells Greg about how he lost his own son, and that the lessons and things a father gives a son should be treasured. Greg realizes this is true, and it shows by how his behavior changed at the end.
Ivan 1 or Ivan Danilovich also known as Ivan Moneybag or in
Russian Ivan Kalita was the grand prince of Moscow and the grand prince of
Vladimir who was known for policies that increased Moscow's power and
transformed it into the richest principality in northeastern Russia. He had a
reputation for thrift and financial shrewdness that earned him the nickname “Kalita”
or “Moneybag”. Instead of conquering territory, he preferred to purchase. He
also made Moscow the spiritual center of the Russian lands by forming a close
alliance with the metropolitan of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Answer:
Using the cost-benefit analysis table to answer the question: should Mis. Baxter allow her students to take an open-book test the best option to fill the blank pace is: Mrs. Baxter may have to reteach the material.
Explanation:
First of all, let's analyze the context and the answers.
In this case, let's consider the first option. It doesn't matter if the students obtain better results if she instead applied a closed-book test. Increasing the notes the students would obtain wouldn't mean they learned the correct answer. But that they know how to find information. So it is the most logical considering the cost-benefit analysis.
The second option says that Mrs. Baxter wouldn't need to proctor the exam. But just because it is an open book test doesn't mean students won't feel insecure about their answers and won't copy from classmates, so it's wrong.
Parents may be happier with grades. This could be a good choice but may is such an ambiguous answer that doesn't say anything. It is a tricky answer we have a 50% chance they would be happier with nice grades, but if asked her the reason they wouldn't be happy. So, it's wrong because, in the end, she didn't test their knowledge.
Fourth option Parents will encourage children to study. They could provide them reinforcement for good performance but not encourage them. They would encourage them if they performed badly. Also if they knew how they obtained it, they would definitely know they were not tested and would have a reason to be rewarded. So it is also wrong.
Answer: The base-rate fallacy
Explanation: The base rate fallacy also refered to as base rate bias is the tendency of an individual to erroneously predict the likely outcome of a situation by over looking all relevant data that was supposed to be taken into account. It is the preference of individuating information over relevant data. Stephon over looked the statistical data that his chance of making it into the NBA is low and prefer to go with the individuating information about how his friend's brother receives a lucrative contract to play for the NBA. This situation best illustrates base-rate fallacy.
