Answer:
a. 1/3
Explanation:
Although, this is a controversial topic and it is hard to state exactly how much income share the top 1% or how much of the United State's wealth rests with the wealthiest top 1% but, it can be said that approximately one-third (1/3) of the wealth remains with the top 1%. Also, some of the sources like Washington Post suggests that up to 40% of the wealth rests with the US top 1% households. Hence, given the options, 1/3 is most suitable.
The top 1% of individuals in the United States hold about 29% of the country's wealth.
The Occupy Wall Street movement drew attention to income inequality in the United States, and one key statistic often referenced was the wealth held by the top 1% of individuals. According to data from the Federal Reserve, the wealthiest 1% of Americans held about 29% of the country's wealth as of 2019.
This means that the correct answer to the question is not given among the options provided. The correct answer would be slightly less than 1/3, which is closest to option a. 1/3.

A baseball player's son is quite talented; he has received lots of awards over the years. When he gets up to bat he expects to get a hit, and when he is in the field he expects to make every catch. According to Bandura, what characteristic does this young man seem to have?
a) self-regard
b) self-centeredness
c) self-actualization
d) self-efficacy
Answer: D

This implies that people have different levels of "self-efficacy" for different things and it's determined by our background among other things.

Travel expenses related to foreign conventions are disallowed unless the meeting is directly related to the taxpayer's business, and it is reasonable for the meeting to be held outside of North America. True or False?
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Travel expenses to foreign conventions are disallowed unless the meeting is directly related to the business, and this activity can't be held inside North America, such as meetings, training, and others, otherwise it would be considered as a personal vacation and they wouldn’t be deductible.
Some of the expenses that can be claimed as tax deductions are: conference and registration fees, vehicle from the hotel to any business activity location, transportation to the country, lodging, 50% of meal expenses and 50% of the cost of entertaining patients or suppliers.
These travel expenses are fully deductible only if the employee spends 100% of the time on business, however if the employee spent time engaging personal activities, he / she would have to make an allocation in proportion to the number of days or time spent during business activities and personal ones.
On the other hand, if you meet one or more of these conditions, your trip can be considered entirely for business:
- Less than one week outside the U.S.
- Less than 25 percent of time on personal activities.
- Vacation was not a major consideration.
A baby is learning about his world. He already knows about the value of sucking and grasping in helping him to adapt to his world and he is now working on understanding pushing and pulling. Piaget would have characterized all of these mental structures as_________.
Answer:
Schemas
Explanation:
According to the various studies undergone by Psychologist Jean Piaget, it can be said that he would characterize these mental structures as Schemas. Piaget defined this as mental representations of the world that we live in, which are used in order to understand and react to various situations in our everyday lives. Which is what the baby is doing by learning different actions and how they help him/her in this world.
Final answer:
Piaget would have characterized the mental structures involved in a baby learning about their world through sucking, grasping, pushing, and pulling as schemas, which are central to his theory of cognitive development.
Explanation:
The question refers to Piaget's theory of cognitive development and the concept of schemas. Schemas are mental structures that help us understand and interpret the world around us. According to Piaget, children develop these schemas through interactions with their environment, involving processes like sucking, grasping, pushing, and pulling. He would have characterized all of these mental structures as schemas. These schemas are part of the sensorimotor stage of Piaget's model, which is the first stage of cognitive development. In this stage, infants learn about their world through their senses and actions, such as looking, sucking, grasping, and listening, which helps them develop new skills and assimilate new information into existing schemas through the processes of assimilation and accommodation.
It's essential to note that while Piaget's theories have made a significant impact on understanding cognitive development, they have been both critiqued and expanded upon. Research has shown that very young children have a more sophisticated understanding of objects and their properties than Piaget initially suggested. Nonetheless, the idea of schemas remains a foundational concept in exploring how humans, from infancy onward, learn and adapt to the world around them.
After agreeing to Nat’s request to share her lecture notes from one class, Maria now agrees to Nat’s request to share her notes from three classes. This example illustrates the ________technique.
a. door-in-the-face
b. foot-in-the-mouth
c. lowball
d. foot-in-the-door
Answer: d. foot-in-the-door
Explanation:
The "foot-in-the-door" technique is when you ask for something apparently small and easy to do from a person and then you condition that person into doing more for you.
This is what happened between Nat and Maria. He first asked her to share her lecture notes from one class and she agreed and then he asked her to share her notes from three classes (to which she agreed again).
This makes a person give unconditionally, because the difficulty or effort put into the request increases gradually and it becomes a habit for that person to keep giving and sharing with the person who puts their foot in the door.

The Flynn effect refers to the observed increase in average IQ scores of entire nations over the 20th century. It suggests that besides genetic factors, environmental factors also influence the IQ. Due to the Flynn effect, IQ tests are regularly adjusted to maintain a mean of 100.
Explanation:The term Flynn effect refers to the observed generational rise in average IQ scores of entire nations over the 20th century. This unexpected rise in IQ was first documented by researcher James R. Flynn. The increase in IQ scores challenges the notion that intelligence quotient is purely genetically determined and instead suggests that environmental factors also play a significant role. As a result of the Flynn effect, IQ tests often need to be renormalized to maintain a mean score of 100. This is why a score of 100 on an IQ test today would be higher than a score of 100 from several decades ago.

Which of the following places in Latin America is likely at the highest risk for a dengue outbreak? Which of the following places in Latin America is likely at the highest risk for a dengue outbreak? An urban, dry area. An urban area with several waterways. A rural area next to the ocean. A rural desert area with few trees.
Answer:
An urban area with several waterways.
Explanation:
An urban area with several waterways is likely at the highest risk for a dengue outbreak because the mosquitoes that transmit dengue reproduce in stagnant water. In an urban dry area there is no danger, as there is no stagnant water there and mosquitoes can't reproduce. The same happens in a rural area next to the ocean and in a rural desert area with few trees, there is no place for a dengue outbreak in these locations.
