Answer:

The tragedy of the commons is an economic problem in which every individual has an incentive to consume a resource at the expense of every other individual with no way to exclude anyone from consuming. It results in overconsumption, under investment, and ultimately depletion of the resource.

Select the sentence in the present tense.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Well, I can't quite determine if you mean for this to be a trick question or if you are serious.

I say that because technically speaking, A and C show future tense, while B and D show past tense.

Of all the options, A is the best one to represent the present tense. While it certainly <u><em>can</em></u> represent the present tense, it does a much better job at representing the future tense. Yes, really. Let me give you some other examples so you'll see what I mean.....

Explanation:

Today, I'm leaving for Paris on the 4:00 p.m. flight.   =    future tense

Today, the army is sending me to boot camp.    =   future tense

.......................

I should add....

If you were to say:  "Today, I'm babysitting my nephew."  --- <u><em>and you said it at the moment that you are in the house next to your nephew</em></u> -- then, THAT would be present tense.

In this example, we're talking about an action that is happening at the moment of speaking unlike option A above which refers to an action that hasn't happened yet.

Have you got it??

Should a business be able to deny someone from entering their store if they are not wearing a mask? Why? Explain thoroughly.
SOVA2 [1]

Explanation:

A buisness has every right to deny a person from entering their establishment if they do not have on the appropriate protection on during a pandemic. Wearing a mask not only puts other peoples lives at risk, but also your life. Laws have been enforced where masks are permitted to be worn when in public or surrounded by groups of people. if you are caught not wearing a mask, you will get find and possibly arrested. Businesses have every right to kick you out of their establish because they are only trying to protect civilians from the horrifying virus.In press conferences and news releases, the mayor has said that people are required to wear a mask or face covering in certain situations — including employees, customers, and visitors of hotels, grocery stores and other retail food sellers and taxis, ride-sharing companies, or private transportation providers. But the text of the order itself states that hotels and stores must simply post signage instructing guests and customers to wear masks or mouth coverings. That discrepancy has opened the door for confusion about how people should comply. Store owners must post the signage, but are they required to refuse entry to customers without masks? And what are the consequences if individuals don't wear masks to a store?

Lindsay Wiley, director of the Health Law and Policy Program at American University Washington College of Law, says that while the signage is mandatory, it's essentially up to the businesses to determine how it will be enforced. While the mayor is telling individuals to wear masks, she isn't mandating that in the order itself such an order would be susceptible to constitutional rights challenges, according to Wiley.
