I don't think it is the easiest thing in the world to do, but it is definitely not the hardest. Because if you take Donald Trump for example, or any U.S president, they may have already had money, like Trump, yet everyone is not nessisarly aware of who they are exactly, but the fact that they are or were president and people now know who they are because they have moved up in the social class, no, this doesn't happen every day, but, this is just one example. Another one would be in a case where someone won the lottery, nobody really knew who they were before they won, and now they would be moved up in the social class because of their money and fame. So yes, in a sense, social mobility is an easy thing to achieve in the US.

Travka [436]

The correct answer is D. Specific knowledge is excludable, while general knowledge is not excludable.

Explanation:

General knowledge refers to information, facts, etc. that are basic, and due to this, they are known by most of the people. Indeed, general knowledge is obtained through basic education, interaction with others and exposition to media. Moreover, general knowledge covers multiple areas. On the other hand, specific knowledge focuses on specific areas and covers complex facts, information, etc. Also, in most cases, specific knowledge can only be acquired through formal training or education.

Besides, in terms of excludability (quality of a service or product that needs to be paid to be acquired), specific knowledge is mainly excludable because people who do not pay for formal training cannot obtain it. On the opposite, general knowledge is not excludable as this can be obtained for free, and therefore it is not possible to control this (Option D).
