At ancient Greek sports festivals it was the custom to give ribbons to winning athletes. Later, at the awards' ceremony, the athlete received a wreath of leaves such as olive, laurel or wild celery leaves, depending on the festival. The identity of the athlete and the event he won are not known. Athletes are selected by their respective NOCs, who are responsible for supporting them and entering them for the Games. The IOC sends out invitation letters to all NOCs one year before the Opening Ceremony and those NOCS then submit entries for the Games who are then approved or otherwise by the IOC. They got The Olympic Order award for winning.

Match each country with its most likely place on the economic continuum. China Japan North Korea India

joja [24]

Answer:

The economic continuum goes from a command, planned economy on the extreme left side, to a fully free market economy on the extreme right side, and various combinations of both in the middle.

China: China is in part a command economy, because the state still has prevalence in some key sectors, for example, in banking. However, it also has many aspects of a free enterprise system. Its position is slightly to the left.

Japan: Japan is an economy that is freer than the world-average. Private firms dominante the economy. Its position is comfortably on the right side of the continuum.

North Korea: North Korea is the least free economy in the world. It is a planned, command economy where private property basically does not exist. Its position is on the extreme left.

India: India is freer than China, but less free than Japan. It used to be a very planned economy, but has been liberalizing many sectors. Its position is slightly to the right.
