What are your answers? We'll be glad to check them for you. If all these questions have you stumped, I'd suggest you read your text materials to find the answers.
I've read all the material over nod over again and I still can't figure it out @reed
Both of your answers are wrong. And since you've read the material over and over, this class must be too hard for you. Drop it and take an easier class.
I don't need to drop this class I have good grades in this class it's just this one lesson that I have a problem with so don't tell me that I need to drop this class when I don't all I need is help @Ms.Sue
If you do not know what the consumer price index is, and it is not defined in your text materials, Google it. We can provide you with links for each of these questions, but you can do it for yourself. In question 8, where your answer is wrong, what is a PRIVATE service compared to a PUBLIC service. How is a PUBLIC service defined? One operated by a private business or one funded by the public through taxes? Sometimes you have to THINK, too. Are the police, libraries, and highways privately owned or supported by the public and owned by the public? THINK.
