The incentive scheme that rules sumo is intricate and extraordinarily powerful. Each wrestler maintains a ranking that affects every slice of life; how much money he makes, how large an entourage he carries, how much he gets to eat, sleep, and otherwise take advantage of his success. The sixty highest-ranked wrestlers in Japan, comprising the makuuchi and juryo divisions, make up the sumo elite. A wrestler near the top of this elite pyramid may earn millions and is treated like royalty. Any wrestler in the top forty earns at least $170,000 a year. The seventieth-ranked wrestler in Japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year. Life isn’t very sweet outside the elite. Low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors, preparing their meals and cleaning their quarters. . . . So ranking is everything.

1. Which of the following central ideas from the paragraph is a reason that supports the claim “cheating exists because of incentive.”
A. Every wrestler has a ranking.
B. Ranking affects your diet.
C. The makuuchi and juryo divisions make up the sumo elite.
*D. Ranking is everything.

C. “The seventieth-ranked wrestler in Japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year.”

1. D. Based on the central idea, cheating tends to exist in Zumo wrestling because "Ranking is everything" that makes you survive as a wrestler.

2.. The three sentences to back up the claim that " Ranking is everything" are

B. “Each wrestler maintains a ranking that affects every slice of his life.”

C. “The seventieth-ranked wrestler in Japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year.”

D. “Low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors.”

Explanation:

In explaining the key factor of "ranking being everything" , we look it from the fact that Zumo wrestlers in Japan are made so powerful because of the incentive that is attached to the high ranking positions in the category that are available. This ranking that comes with juicy incentives determines the life of a wrestler based on what he can eat, the number of people he can carry about, and how he can sleep well.

However, wrestlers that make up the elite are the makuuchi and juryo divisions with those at the top-earning millions per year while those below earnings ranges from $17,000 to $15,000 thereby making the lower-ranked ones to serve the high ranking ones

more likely to elicit laughs and rude remarks rather than screams and rooting interest.

while it's not a terribly original entry in the "creepy doll" horror subgenre, this fright flick nonetheless offers interesting characters, a strong cast, expert pacing, and a spooky atmosphere.

1. at the conclusion of chapter 13, the monster realizes that he has none of the qualities or possessions that human beings value, and so he worries the he will be forever miserable. he says, “oh, that i had for ever remained in my native wood, nor known nor felt beyond the sensations of hunger, thirst, and heat! ” this statement recalls one made by victor frankenstein in chapter 10: “if our impulses were confined to hunger, thirst, and desire, we might nearly be free; but now we are moved by every wind that blows, and a chance word or scene that that word may convey to us.” questions: what do these two statements suggest about the impact of knowledge? how do the statements affect the way readers view the monster and victor?
