Which statement about a capitalist economic system is true?


A.
In a capitalist economy, the government owns the means of production.


B.
In capitalist societies, people are not motivated to work hard since it will not affect their income or profits.


C.
The capitalist system encourages competition among businesses.


D.
Capitalism requires that all citizens be government employees, no matter what kind of work they do.

Answer 27

I'd go with (C), that it encourages competition. You can see that for yourself in your local community with all of the businesses around that are trying to earn your money. All of the other answers are more true of dictatorships or planned economies.

Answer 28

It is non-threatening because it rejects violence.


B.


It can have a serious economic impact on businesses.


C.


It demonstrates the power of the judicial system.


D.
It shows that many people support the cause.

Answer 29

d?

Answer 30

its either D or A

Answer 31

I'd actually go with (C). The only reason I would is because the judicial system doesn't have to be involved as long as no laws are broken -- a boycott and involve many people, be non-violent, and impact a business. It's like ignoring a company's products because you don't like something about them or how they do business. It hurts no one, only their bottom line.

Answer 34

after this question we will see what score we got :D

Answer 35

isnt it D?

Answer 36

This last one is tricky. I'm not sure which one is right, but I'm leaning towards (D) or (A).

Answer 37

Now that I think about it, I'd probably lean more towards (A). During WW2, women were allowed into more working roles than they had before the war started which opened a lot of doors.

Unfortunately, when the war was over, societal pressures tried to shift them back into being "happy homemakers" which was frustrating for many who saw the opportunities they had from before.
