Answer:

It shows how the camper meets all the author's travel needs.

Explanation:

Travels With Charley is a travelogue written by John Steinbeck where he travels around America from his personal desire to know more about the country. Moreover, he wanted to do this out of the desire to learn more about the country his works are based on and the very source of his inspiration for these works.

The given passage from the book provides the details of what he wanted in for his travel plans. He knew he needed "a tough, fast, comfortable vehicle, mounting a camper top" which also has all the basic necessities for traveling purpose. Thus, the descriptive detail like "a little house with double bed, a four-burner stove, a heater, refrigerator and lights operating on butane, a chemical toilet, closet space, storage space, windows screened against insects" shows how the camper has all the travel needs of the author.

The tendency to hold onto losing stocks in the hope that they will recoup is called:_______

iren2701 [21]

The tendency to hold onto losing stocks in the hope that they will recoup is called loss aversion.

Loss aversion is a cognitive bias that explains why the pain of loss has twice as much psychological impact as the joy of winning. Losing money or another valuable item can feel worse than gaining the same. This principle is prominent in the field of economics. What distinguishes loss aversion from risk aversion is that the utility of monetary rewards depends on what has been previously experienced or expected.

In the realm of behavioral choice, 'loss aversion' is a behavioral phenomenon in which individuals exhibit greater sensitivity to potential losses than gains. Conversely, “risk-averse” people have an increased sensitivity/aversion to options with uncertain outcomes.
