The correct answer is option D) “Every purchase you make at a chain store is sale that a local small business misses out on.”
A zero-sum game in this example represents the following situation: if the amount of sales increases for a chain store, then the amount of sales will equally decrease in a small store.
Let’s take the example of a cake. The complete cake represents the total amount of sales in the market. If the chain store takes a big piece of “cake”, then the rest of it is divided into the rest of the small stores.
In the other options provided, the zero-sum game mathematical process does not apply.
Answer:
It would be difficult and lonely.
Explanation:
Dearest Francis,
I hope that this letter finds you happy and good of health. Life here in the New World is not easy, but if the elements cooperate, the benefits can be good. Winters here are longer and more bitter than in France, but the spectacular landscapes to in many ways compensate for the frigid conditions. Cities here would not be cities back home, but any speck of civilization can bring joy to the heart after weeks of trapping in the wilderness.
Until our paths cross again,
Marcus

If you look at the reasons Tom Robinson suspected Maybella's father of beating her, that should help. Have a look at Tom's story of what happened and all the evidence from his side, including Maybella having bruises on the right side of her face, and her father being left handed, and no medical help was called for even though she was covered in bruises.
I hope this helps a little :)
