Which of these statements MOST accurately describes Hotelling's Law? Competing businesses are likely to be drawn toward a center point in order to minimize the advantages that location might grant to their competitors. As businesses move away from a zone of profitability, distance decay reduces profitability as the business is in a zone where consumers will not travel. A prime location for a business is where demand for a certain retail good is high enough to generate revenues that exceed the costs of doing business there. Location theory considers factors such as workforce availability, education, and community culture and appeal. Inequalities between the core and periphery keep core countries economically developed and periphery countries undeveloped.

Review the reading selection used in the practice exam. Make a journal of all dense or unfamiliar vocabulary found in the passage, the stems, or the answers. Look up and record the actual definitions. from The Beast by Ben B. Lindsey and Harvey J. OHiggins [The Childrens Judge, who founded the first childrens court in America, tells the story of his fight with the powers of privilege in Colorado. In the following extract, he narrates what came of a newspaper interview on the subject of the conditions under which children were kept in prison.] The result was an article that took even my breath away when I read it next day on the front page of the newspaper. It was the talk of the town. It was certainly the talk of the Police Board; and Mr. Frank Adams talked to the reporters in a high voice, indiscreetly. He declared that the boys were liars, that I was crazy, and that conditions in the jails were as good as they could be. This reply was exactly what we wished. I demanded an investigation. The Board professed to be willing, but set no date. We promptly set one for themthe following Thursday at two oclock in my chambers at the Court Houseand I invited to the hearing Governor Peabody, Mayor Wright, fifteen prominent ministers in the city, and the Police Board and some members of the City Council. (1) On Thursday morningto my horrorI learned from a friendly Deputy Sheriff that the subpnas I had ordered sent to a number of boys whom I knew as jail victims had not been served. I had no witnesses. And in three hours the hearing was to begin. I appealed to the Deputy Sheriff to help me. He admitted that he could not get the boys in less than two days. Well then, I said, for heavens sake, get me Mickey. (2) And Mickey? Well, Mickey was known to fame as the worst kid in town. As such, his portrait had been printed in the newspapersposed with his shine-box over his shoulder, a cigarette in the corner of his grin, his thumbs under his susp

Read the following excerpt carefully before choosing your answer.This passage is from then-Senator Barack Obama's November 2007 Speech on the "American Dream""When our fellow Americans are denied the American dream, our own dreams are diminished. And today, the cost of that dream is rising faster than ever before. While some have prospered beyond imagination in this global economy, middle-class Americansas well as those working hard to become middle classare seeing the American dream slip further and further away.You know it from your own lives. Americans are working harder for less and paying more for health care and college. For most folks, one income isn't enough to raise a family and send your kids to college. Sometimes, two incomes aren't enough. It's harder to save. It's harder to retire. You're doing your part, you're meeting your responsibilities, but it always seems like you're treading water or falling behind. And as I see this every day on the campaign trail, I'm reminded of how unlikely it is that the dreams of my family could be realized today"Which type of rhetorical device is used in the lines, "It's harder to save. It's harder to retire"? Allusion Hyperbole Anaphora Juxtaposition

Read the following passage carefully before you choose your answer.The following is taken from a passage written by the famed naturalist, John Muir.(1) The immortal LinnaeusCarl von Linnwas born in Sweden, a cold rocky country now famous forever. (2) He was born in the bloom-time of the year, May 13th, 1707; and in pondering the significance of his birth, one might stop to give thanks and reflect on the wonderful inspiration his life would come to serve.(3) Whether descended from sea-kings and pirates as is most likely, or from fighting Normans or goths, matters not; for he was a lover sent of God to revive and cheer and bless all mankind. (4) And this he did in spite of crushing poverty, and all the black brood of disappointments and discouragements that ever beset the onway of genius. (5) His parents were as poor and pious as the parents of great men usually are. (6) He was a naturalist from his birth, and reveled in the bloom of the fields and gardens about his native village of Rashult as naturally as a bee. (7) By his steady, slow-going neighbors, he was looked on as one possessed.(8) His father, a minister, naturally wished his son to follow in his footsteps, and so he pinched pennies and saved money to send young Carl to school with this end in view. (9) But the studies leading to the ministry did not interest the lad, and like other divine boys he was called a dunce. (10) Accordingly, when his father visited the school and anxiously inquired how Carl was getting on, he was bluntly told that the boy was dull, had no brains, and could never be made into a minister or scholar of any kind. (11) Under these dark circumstances, the best advice the schoolmaster was able to offer the discouraged father was to take away his boy and make a tailor or a shoemaker of him.(12) Yet this was the boy who was to do the most of all for many generations to open men's eyes to see the beauty of God's gardens and the creatures that enliven them.In sentence 11 (reproduced below), the writer wants to use a transitional phrase to create the appropriate tone for the information contained in the sentence.Under these dark circumstances, the best advice the schoolmaster was able to offer the discouraged father was to take away his boy and make a tailor or a shoemaker of him.Which version of the underlined text best achieves this goal?
