Answer: In the sentence the use of "This is an unjust comparison" represents the citation of the author's speech. The number (126) represents the number of the page where the citation is.
Citation is the mention in the text of information extracted from other documents, with the aim of placing the work in the context of the theme, giving it credibility, confronting data, facts and arguments, and recording similar opinions or opposite conclusions.

This is known as Economic Duress
Explanation:
Economic duress in contracts is said to occur when a party to a contract threatens to cancel a contract unless the other party involved agrees to their demands.

In Amy’s article on ¨Why investing in fast-food may be a good thing¨ the two points where she might have given way to accusation or blame are the following…
Although we favor local, organic food, we recognize it isn't available in every community, and is often priced above the means of the average household. Many of us live more than 100 miles from a working farm.
The fact that she mentions that it is often 'priced above the means of the average household' may dismiss the movement as elitist.
She finds common ground and promotes civil discourse with her audience immediately in the following paragraph by stating this fact:
Fast food is a way of life. In America, the average person eats it more than 150 times a year. In 2007, sales for the 400 largest U.S.-based fast-food chains totaled $277 billion, up 7 percent from 2006.
Fast food is a global phenomenon. Major chains and their local competitors open restaurants in nearly every country. For instance, in Greece, burgers and pizza are supplanting the traditional healthy Mediterranean diet of fish, olive oil and vegetables. Doctors are treating Greek children for diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure—ailments rarely seen in the past.
The fast-food industry won't go away anytime soon. But in the meantime, it can be changed. And because it's so enormous, even seemingly modest changes can have a big impact. In 2006, New York City banned the use of trans-fats (a staple of fast food) in restaurants, and in 2008, California became the first state to do so. When McDonald's moved to non-trans fats for making French fries, the health benefits were widespread.
We can also appreciate her point in the conclusion of the article:
While my heart will always be with Slow Food, I recognize the fast-food industry can improve and that some companies are ahead of others on that path.
The correct answer is D.
The cost has risen 1,000$ (comparting the 1500$ he had paid, with the 2500$ his friend has offered for the vacation, 1000$ is the amount he would miss if rejecting the offer plus the value of the activity he would do instead of the skiing vacation).
This cost rise represents the concept of opportunity cost. It is referred, when making a decision, to the value that is missed when rejecting the alternative option.
