Rachel walked up and down the aisles at Costello's Watercraft. She wanted something she and her husband, Arnel, could enjoy duri
ng their summer at the family lake house. The clerk pointed to a brand-new canoe. "This is our top seller. Dependable, good reviews, comes with a ten-year warranty." But while Rachel was inspecting the canoe, another customer approached her. "Are you sure you want to spend all that money on a canoe? I've got an old pedal boat I could sell you for a quarter of the price," he offered. Later that day, Rachel and Arnel went to the man's house to check out the pedal boat. It had a lot of dents, and the man admitted that he hadn't taken it out on the water in three years. But the price was too good to beat. "The boat would be sold in the condition it's in," the man warned. "All sales final." But Rachel and Arnel were already talking about the fishing gear they could buy with the money they would be saving. They bought the pedal boat immediately. took the man When summer arrived, Arnel took the boat for a test run on the lake, while Rachel watched from the shoreline. The boat hardly went fifty feet before the front started sinking. Rachel's summer fantasy sunk along with it. She remembered the brand-new canoe she'd passed up and felt foolish. The pedals stuck as the boat sunk deeper, and Arnel had to swim back to shore. At least the fishing rods worked. Rachel and Arnel spent the summer catching perch and shaking their heads over their mistake. Which of the following best describes the nain theme or lesson of the story?
A. If you don't do your research, people will take advantage of you.
The passage fails to say anything about them regretting not to do more research, but it does say a lot about saving money.

This mistake cost them as now they have lost money from this purchase and they have to buy another boat instead. As a result of trying to save money, they ended up losing more money.
Answer: The swimming calorie calculator allows you to choose from several other options, such as water jogging, water aerobics, or even simply treading water.

If someone were to go to hell, it would be hard for them to survive and they would look tired and tortured, from being in hell. So it would make the most sense that if a person described a person as someone who "looks as if he was dead and in hell now," that that person would look horrendous from living a hard life.
