The incentive scheme that rules sumo is intricate and extraordinarily powerful. Each wrestler maintains a ranking that affects e

very slice of life; how much money he makes, how large an entourage he carries, how much he gets to eat, sleep, and otherwise take advantage of his success. The sixty highest-ranked wrestlers in Japan, comprising the makuuchi and juryo divisions, make up the sumo elite. A wrestler near the top of this elite pyramid may earn millions and is treated like royalty. Any wrestler in the top forty earns at least $170,000 a year. The seventieth-ranked wrestler in Japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year. Life isn’t very sweet outside the elite. Low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors, preparing their meals and cleaning their quarters. . . . So ranking is everything.
1. Which of the following central ideas from the paragraph is a reason that supports the claim “cheating exists because of incentive.”
A. Every wrestler has a ranking.
B. Ranking affects your diet.
C. The makuuchi and juryo divisions make up the sumo elite.

Answer:

Question 1: The central idea from the paragraph that is a reason that supports the claim “cheating exists because of incentive.” is Ranking is everything.

Question 2: The three sentences that present evidence to support the idea that “Ranking is everything.” are:

* “Each wrestler maintains a ranking that affects every slice of his life.”

* “The seventieth-ranked wrestler in Japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year.”

* “Low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors.”

Explanation:

It is described in the paragraph that in Japan the ranking as a sumo fighter is extremely important since the rank that each wrestler achieves will determine either if they are meant to be served or to serve since Japan has a culture that goes around honor this is considered an important factor that leads competitors to cheat it goes beyond money.

Answer:

1. D. Based on the central idea, cheating tends to exist in Zumo wrestling because "Ranking is everything" that makes you survive as a wrestler.

2.. The three sentences to back up the claim that " Ranking is everything" are

B. “Each wrestler maintains a ranking that affects every slice of his life.”

C. “The seventieth-ranked wrestler in Japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year.”

D. “Low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors.”

Explanation:

In explaining the key factor of "ranking being everything" , we look it from the fact that Zumo wrestlers in Japan are made so powerful because of the incentive that is attached to the high ranking positions in the category that are available. This ranking that comes with juicy incentives determines the life of a wrestler based on what he can eat, the number of people he can carry about, and how he can sleep well.

However, wrestlers that make up the elite are the makuuchi and juryo divisions with those at the top-earning millions per year  while those below earnings ranges from $17,000 to $15,000 thereby making the lower-ranked ones to serve the high ranking ones

Read the excerpt below and answer the question:
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

What the speaker is suggesting is the means by which she thinks peace, love and reconciliation can be achieved by people, not only with others, but also with themselves. The means she believes are necessary and people would be willing to do, in order to achive these goals, are, first, to bring out from the world of "dreams", or from "sleeping", all those good intentions and good principles, that would become the means of reaching those goals. So she proposes people to open the world of sleeping, of dreams, to bring those good things out into reality. Then she also says that people, if willing to open their entire selves, will be able to allow all those good intentions and actions that are closed up inside, to flow and help them to push their limitations, go beyond those limitations, even release those means, or ways, in which they might try to achieve their final goal of peace making, love making and reconciliation, but which might be wrong. Finally she says that people, who wish to achieve those three goals, are those who are willing to wake, which means, are willing to open up themselves to let all that is good inside, flow out. War is a very complicated matter, and it usually is produced by the greed, and ambition of people, as well as because of the envy that people may have towards one another. But it is possible that if people discovered a little bit more what´s truly within their hearts, which is not all bad, these goals might be achieved.
