Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. The remaining part of the question reads;

the first paragraph;

<em>I spent my teens and much of my twenties collecting printed rejections. Early on, my mother lost $61.20—a reading fee charged by a so-called agent to look at one of my unpublished stories. No one had told us that agents weren’t supposed to get any money upfront, weren’t supposed to be paid until they sold your work. Then they were to take ten percent of whatever the work earned. Ignorance is expensive. That $61.20 was more money back then than my mother paid for a month’s rent.</em>

The last sentence of the first paragraph (“That . . . month’s rent”) primarily serves to

A. <em>justify an action by invoking an ethical principle</em>

B. clarify a point by defining an ambiguous term

C. show how anecdotal evidence supports a claim

<em>D. provide meaningful context for a revealing statistic</em>

<em>E. demonstrate that a common practice has harmful effect</em>

Answer:

<u><em>D. provide a meaningful context for a revealing statistic</em></u>

Explanation:

By saying, "<em>That $61.20 was more money back then than my mother paid for a month’s rent" </em>the narrator had revealed a very interesting statistic about the value of money back then.

In other words, the context surrounding the statement helps the average reader quickly understand that a month's rent used to be <em>lesser</em> than $61.20; very interesting statistics at that.

Assume that the United States and India enjoy constant opportunity costs in the production possibilities shown in the table.
Soloha48 [4]

The nation that has the absolute advantage in peanuts is India.

<h3>How to solve for the absolute advantage of these countries</h3>

a. The country that has the absolute advantage in the pounds of peanuts is India. They are able to produce 10 million worth of the product.

b. This is in the attachment

c. From the calculated opportunity costs, India has been shown to have the comparative advantage in peanuts so they have to specialize here.

The US on the other hand has to specialize in pecans because they have  the comparative advantage in it.

d) The PPC for each country is a diagram

e. ) The terms of trade would be a pound of peanut for a pound of pec an for the countries.

Based on this the US would produce 10 units for pecans. They would use 5 units and exchange the remaining 5 units of pecans for 5 units of peanuts from India.

India is also going to do likewise.
