Answer 1

Answer:

This choice confirms Georg Simmel's theory that says that DEPERSONALIZED EXCHANGE is part of a historical evolution of the economy that has many advantages.

Explanation:

Simmel was a German sociologist that studied social theories about living in large cities and how it changes their social interaction. In Simmel's view, social relationships have been altered by money and what money represents in modern economies. According to him, individuals will choose money over personal relationships and other needs.

In this case, Samara prefers cash instead of other goods that could satisfy her needs, since she knows she can use money to exchange for other goods or services.
