This question is missing the previous part of the excerpt and the answer options. I have found the complete question online. The part that you already posted will be omitted, replaced with . . .
Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner's "Freakonomics":
In the real world, Feldman learned to settle for less than 95 percent. He came to consider a company as "honest" if its payment rate was above 90 percent. He considered a rate between 80 and 90 percent "annoying but tolerable." If a company habitually paid below 80 percent, Feldman might post a hectoring note, like this one:
. . .
A. a claim
B. an example
C. a conclusion
D. a counterclaim
Answer:
The excerpt serves a:
B. an example
Explanation:
The excerpt in the question serves as an example for the passage posted above.
Feldman is a man who leaves baskets with bagels at companies for people to take them and pay for them. He does not stay at the company, however, to make sure people will pay. He would rather trust their honesty. But, if people begin to take the bagels without paying to the point where Feldman only makes between 80 to 90 percent of the money he should make, he leaves them a note.
When the authors talk about Feldman's note, the phrase "like this one" shows that the excerpt is an example of a type of note Feldman might use to increase payment by appealing to people's honesty.

Summarization of act 1 scene 1-3 in “As You Like It”
Answer:
Rosalind is depressed over the banishment of her father, Duke Senior. Her cousin, Celia, attempts to cheer her up. Celia promises that as the sole heir of the usurping Duke Frederick, she will give the throne to Rosalind upon his death. In gratitude, Rosalind promises to be less melancholy, and the two women wittily discuss the roles of “Fortune” and “Nature” in determining the circumstances of one’s life (I.ii.26–47). They are interrupted by the court jester, Touchstone, who mockingly tells of a knight without honor who still swore by it. Le Beau, a dapper young courtier, also arrives and intrigues them with the promise of a wrestling match featuring the phenomenal strength and skill of the wrestler Charles.
The match’s participants enter with many members of the court, including Duke Frederick, who cordially greets Rosalind and Celia. The duke remarks on the danger Charles’s young challenger faces, and he suggests that the girls attempt to dissuade the present challenger from his effort to defeat the wrestler. Rosalind and Celia agree and call to the young man, who turns out to be Orlando. Try as they might, they cannot sway him. He remains deaf to their pleas and speaks as if he has absolutely nothing to lose. Orlando and Charles wrestle, and Orlando quickly defeats his opponent. Amazed, Duke Frederick asks Orlando to reveal his identity. When Orlando responds that he is the youngest son of Sir Rowland de Bois, the duke laments that he wishes Orlando had been someone else’s son, admitting that he and Sir Rowland were enemies. Rosalind and Celia rush in to offer their congratulations, and Rosalind admits how deeply her father admired Orlando’s father. In the exchange, Orlando and Rosalind become mutually smitten, though both are too tongue-tied to confess their feelings.
Indeed, it is this very freedom that Rosalind seeks as she departs for the Forest of Ardenne: “Now go we in content, / To liberty, and not to banishment” (I.iii.131–132). By christening herself Ganymede, Rosalind underscores the liberation that awaits her in the woods. Ganymede is the name of Jove’s beautiful young male page and lover, and the name is borrowed in other works of literature and applied to beautiful young homosexuals. But while the name links Rosalind to a long tradition of homosexuals in literature, it does not necessarily confine her to an exclusively homosexual identity. To view Rosalind as a lesbian who settles for a socially sanctifying marriage with Orlando, or to view Celia as her jilted lover, is to relegate both of them to the unpleasantly restrictive quarters of contemporary sexual politics. The Forest of Ardenne is big enough to embrace both homosexual and heterosexual desires—it allows for both, for all, rather than either/or.

What is the best summary of the section titled "How is cereal made?"
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer: Hello! This one is a little tricky, but I think your answer here would be B.
Explanation: In this poem, The Masque of Red Death, the characters are forcefully quarentining themselves to stay away from others and evade the viral sickness going around (the plague). I think that Poe was writing about his feelings of lonliness in that part, as the abbey could have been a metaphor for having to keep people out of your life for the greater good.
Hope that this helps out somehow! Have a great day!

does the gender of the narrator matter? leaving by m.g vassanji
Answer:1 In my opinion, it is heavily dependent on the story in question. Most of the times I've read books narrated by a female, young or otherwise, they seem to take on the role of a memoir - not so much a way of taking me to a whole new world, but rather allow me to relate to the person telling the story.

Identify the clause
John and Sara were selected as partners for a project,yet Sarah did most of the work
Answer:
The sentence has two independent clauses.
Explanation:
A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb and can function as an adverb, adjective, or noun. There are different types of clauses depending on their function and form.
The given statement is "John and Sara were selected as partners for a project, yet Sarah did most of the work."
Here, the sentence has two independent clauses- "John and Sara were selected as partners for a project" and "Sarah did most of the work" joined by a coordinating conjunction "yet".
And looking at the structure of the sentence, we can determine that it is a compound sentence.

18. Describe two strategies that can help you make better use of the revision stage of the writing process
Revise by yourself then ask someone else to revise the writing. It would be good to have someone with a different thought process than you. That person will normally spot out other things in the writing you might have not noticed.
Don't be afraid to make big changes in the writing! If you do not like a paragraph and wish to delete then it's ok, you can also rewrite the paragraph as you see fit or you can move it around to a different place in the writing. You can also do that before making small changes like grammar, spelling, and formatting.
