In this story, a young woman who is “daughter and wife of a forester” is home alone with her mother. The daughter’s wife is serving in the French army; the father is in town drilling with the local militia. This young woman is strong and unafraid. When half a dozen Germans show up demanding to be fed dinner, she tricks them into her cellar – once, apparently, an underground prison cell – until the local militia can come to take them into custody. The young woman is represented as a fine example of patriotism, courage, and quick wits; the French should be proud of her (and her father certainly is, although it is implied that the leader of the militia is happy to take credit for the capture). The militiamen, however, don’t get an uncritical treatment. I will leave this part spoiler-free, but an unfortunate and avoidable incident highlights that they are less competent than our daughter-and-wife.
i might be going out on a limb but... maybe it's because it's about 4 teenagers who are struggling through poverty and there women?
Answer:
c. The loss of value from not reading or sleeping
Explanation:
Opportunity cost refers to the value of the best alternative that is not selected. In that respect, even though it is not clear which alternative is favored , and the question only asks about the opportunity cost of eating, then the cost of value can be deduced to be related to the choices that were not selected, which in this case are reading and sleeping.
