Read the excerpt from steven d. levitt and stephen j. dubner’s freakonomics. let’s now consider the following statistic, which represents the hundreds of matches in which a 7–7 wrestler faced an 8–6 wrestler on a tournament’s final day: 7–7 wrestler’s predicted win percentage against 8–6 opponent: 48.77–7 wrestler’s actual win percentage against 8–6 opponent: 79.6so the 7–7 wrestler, based on past outcomes, was expected to win just less than half the time. this makes sense; their records in this tournament indicate that the 8–6 wrestler is slightly better. but in actuality, the wrestler on the bubble won almost eight out of ten matches against his 8–6 opponent. wrestlers on the bubble also do astonishingly well against 9–5 opponents: 7–7 wrestler’s predicted win percentage against 9–5 opponent: 47.27–7 wrestler’s actual win percentage against 9–5 opponent: 73.4the authors use the statistics in this excerpt to a. describe the complexity of sumo scorekeeping. b. explain in detail the intricacies of sumo wrestling. c. make a case for the idea that sumo wrestling is rigged. d. show the similarities in japanese sumo and american wrestling.

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.

given the fact that the question is about the detail that best support the idea that oppressive leaders use   propaganda to achieve thir goals,   the first option does not refer to any kind of propaganda, since it only tells about that the milk and the windfall apple should be reserved for the pigs. in the second option, that is, "snowball and napoleon sent out flights of pigeons whose instructions were to mingle with the animals on the neighbouring farms, tell them the story of the rebellion, and teach them the tune of "beasts of england". it can be identified that the oppressors make use of the propaganda, which is represented by the pigeons, and the information they have to tell other animals about what was happening in the farm in order to get their objectives. for that reason, the right answer is the second option, taking into account that the third option do not refer to propaganda since it only talks about that they did not want jones back. and, finally, the last option refers to the result of the given news, but it does not mean about the propaganda they used to achieve their goals.
