Answer: B)Feldman’s payment system was largely successful.

Explanation:

Feldman was earning much more than he did as a research analyst which means that he was earning a lot of money from this business which further means that his payment system was largely successful.

This means that people are mostly honest because his payment system was based on honesty in that he simply left the cash basket there and people could either have not paid or could have taken money from the basket but they didn't(at least not significantly) which could only happen if people were honest.

Cerrena [4.2K]

At the moment when I got pregnant, I could not imagine that I would make a courageous step to give birth to someone, and more so, to give birth to someone naturally without any external interference. Throughout my pregnancy, I was reading a lot of accounts of women who have decided to give birth to their babies naturally. Their experiences immensely inspired me, and I became reassured that delivering without any help and assistance from the medication would be an honor for me as a mother.

One shall be aware that giving birth naturally entails the motherly motivation. For me, it was particularly important to be fully in control of my body at the moment when the life of my child will begin. I was so convinced that such motivation would result in the successful process of the birth-giving, and the process went really smooth. However, once I found myself in the hospital, I felt the fear throughout my body. In every part of myself, I was afraid that something might be wrong and I may lose control over the process, and ultimately the delivery will not be safe for my baby.

Because of the fear, the hospital staff had to interfere in the process of birth giving. The midwives were continually calming me down as I was shivering. Without measuring my blood pressure, I could feel that it went beyond the norm. Instead of thinking of the health of my baby, I was concentrating on the amount of blood, the process of something I wasn’t sure I would be able to control. Even though I thought I was prepared for the process of giving birth, in the hospital room, I realized that it was something a mother-to-be cannot prepare for.

Once the experience of giving birth has started, it has lasted for about 11 hours in total. The midwives were constantly present next to me and were working on stabilizing my emotional experiences. As I was feeling that the baby was actually coming, the fear was fading away. The amount of time spent in the hospital room felt different. After leaving the room, I would not believe that the experience has lasted for 10 hours. I realized that the fear also influenced by the amount of time spent in the hospital room during the process of giving birth to a baby, too.

Lying for 10 hours and giving birth was not as easy as one may think. Once the fear was becoming stronger, I was feeling nausea. During labor, I was trying to portray the images of the baby that was coming from my body but was hearing the cries in my head. The stress and the fear combined was hard to challenge. The only two factors that drove in the process of giving birth naturally was the pride of managing to overcome one of the most massive challenges for the motherhood as well as the motivation for becoming a hero to myself.

In the end, I managed to overcome the fear. After 10 hours of the hardworking labor, my child was put on my breast, and the feeling of pride was omnipresent throughout my body. Finally, in a second I was able to listen to a heartbeat of my body as well as to listen to my body. I was feeling myself a very proud mother who succeeded in overcoming one of the greatest personal challenges one could select. The congratulations coming from the midwives cheered me up even more, and I could finally feel all the pride I had in me. This is why, the experience was wonderful, as it taught me how to overcome my fears.

1. The conflict in "The Outsiders" is between the Greasers and the Socs. The climax of The Outsiders is when Johnny kills the "Soc". Johnny and Ponyboy run away. Later, the Greasers and Soc's have another rumble, and Johnny dies. I would say that this is the climax.

2. ""We won," Dally panted. "We beat the Socs. We stomped them--- chased them outa our territory.""

"Johnny didn't even try to grin at him. "Useless... fighting's no good...." He was

awful white."

3. "But I had both arms wrapped around the other Soc's neck and refused to let go. Dally was slugging him, and I hung on desperately, although that other Soc was kicking me and you'd better believe it hurt. Finally he kicked me in the head so hard it stunned me, and I lay limp, trying to clear my mind and keep from blacking out."

"You read about people looking peacefully asleep when they're dead, but they

don't. Johnny just looked dead. Like a candle with the flame gone. I tried to say

something, but I couldn't make a sound."

4. The dialogue and textual evidence that I used to support my identification of the climax is taken from Chapter 9 in "The Outsiders". When reading the excerpts and reading the characters' dialogues, you can see exactly how tense and dramatic the section is. It is where most of the big dramatic events happen in the novel. With all of the drama, death, and fighting, there is no other part of the story that would be a better climax.

5. After the Greasers win the rumble, Dally dies. Ponyboy spends the rest of the story recovering after all of the physical and emotional trauma he went through. It was probably super scarring, dealing with his friends deaths as well as all of the physical pain that Ponyboy ended up enduring. I suppose that the climax relates to the falling action because the climax causes the falling action.

I really hope that this helps :)

If the root word attach means “to cause something to hold on to another,” what does the word detach mean in the following senten
Mkey [24]
The prefix "de-" means to deduct, or remove from. So, de- + attach, would mean to remove something from holding on to another thing. Apply that to the situation, and the pedal straps "detach", meaning they stop holding on to his ankle. Petal straps connect Andre's foot to his pedals, but when he falls, they disconnect, and the strap no longer holds his foot to the petal. Basically the word detach means to release hold of his foot, so the petals no longer hold his foot to his bike.

1.<br> Why is it important to stay objective while summarizing?
Alex

Answer: summaries have to remain free of personal feelings and must keep the original idea.

Explanation:when summarizing it is important not to change the original idea of what was written because if that happens the original idea of what was initial written is lost hence when summarizing it is crucial to ensure that the summary remains subjective and original .

When personal ideas start to interfere with the original story the originality of the story is lost and one can no longer get the actual idea from your summary .
