Read the excerpt below and answer the question. the ladies, who in vain had implored gualtieri to see that griselda remained in another room, or to lend her one of the dresses that had been hers, so that she would not cut such a sorry figure in front of his guests, took their seats at table and addressed themselves to the meal. all eyes were fixed upon the girl, and everyone said that gualtieri had made a good exchange. but griselda praised her as warmly as anyone present, speaking no less admiringly of her little brother. which option identifies an inference one could draw about the ladies based upon the information in the excerpt? they place a high value on material possessions. they have no respect for gualtieri's wishes. they think gualtieri is wise to test his wife. they pity both of the women in gualtieri's life.

The best answer for this question would be:

They have no respect for Gualtieri's wishes.

It is evident in the excerpt that the people around him had no regards to his wishes. And that they wanted him to follow what was ordered to him for him to do.

explanation:  

stocks and bonds are the two main classes of assets investors use in their portfolios. stocks offer an ownership stake in a company, while bonds are akin to loans made to a company (a corporate bond) or other organization (like the u.s. treasury). in general, stocks are considered riskier and more volatile than bonds.

savings accounts are just money in a bank- they are insured by the fdic for up to 250,000.   very little risk

the average mutual fund holds hundreds of different securities, which means mutual fund shareholders gain important diversification at a low price. which means if one stock or bond drops it will have very little affect on the mutual fund - again very little risk
