There shall be those who adore us, we shall make other [beings] who shall be obedient. Accept your destiny: your flesh shall be torn to pieces. So shall it be. This shall be your lot.” So they said, when they made known their will to the large and small animals which are on the face of the earth.

From the excerpt, I conclude that the Maya forefathers believed it was the fate of animals to be hunted and eaten. The key segment of this text is "Accept your destiny. Your flesh shall be torn to pieces." The forefathers mention they have changed their mind because animals were not able to adore or obey them.

Because animals cannot adore their creators, "there shall be those" who will be able to do all of this. These "others" are the humans, who will hunt and eat animals. Animals will then have to accept their destiny and "be changed," being sent to the ravines and the woods.  

I think that the most reasonable conclusion is answer D.

katen-ka-za [31]
The most likely result is Daisy wouldn't develop deep emotional attachment with her mother.
Deep emotional attachment between parents and infant developed due to the Perception that infants have for her mother.
 If the parent spent a lot of time taking care of her infant, the infant will perceive the mother as a guardian that always take care of her and someone who could make the infant feel safe.

What have sociologists begun to realize about the nomadic lifestyle?
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Nomadic lifestyle as the name indicated some people think this is heaven. But on the other hand, it is bitter and unrewarded. Every person thinks that everything in life is like a nomad and have a wonderful experience.

The nomadic lifestyle changes every time. It changes from place to place. Some nomads are called homes. Their family members, friends are present but they do no living with them for a long time.

This lifestyle is very important from career, job, etc. A nomadic is not tied to any relationship. They are free and live their life freely.

A young woman received an unordered diamond ring in the mail along with a bill for $850. She called the store and was told it wa
astraxan [27]

Answer:

She was charged with robbery and had to pay a fine.

Explanation:

This case is tricky as the store is partially guilty as well. This kind of promotion is misleading because it was forced upon the receiver without any previous notice. The woman rightly called the store to ask about the sales promotion, after being informed of its conditions (she had to pay for the ring as it was probably reduced in price already) she should have returned the ring as she did not agree to pay for it. By keeping it, she committed the felony of robbery which is punishable. She might have received a milder sentence as the promotion offer was badly worded and misleading.

Explain how a Congressman who reflects the politico model would respond to the Big Pizza Lobby. What considerations must he/she
nikdorinn [45]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Congressman has to respond to the Big Pizza Lobby taking these considerations in mind.

Congressman has to realize the impact of the presence of this big "company" in the market. Not only for other industries that cannot compete with this huge company but the impact it has on consumers.

The congressman would propose the kind of bill that benefits free trade, competence, and benefits consumers in a free market.

The big company is not going to stay "arms-folded." The company is going to hire lobbyists to negotiate with congressmen in order to promote its particular agendas and personal interests.

Of course, the big company wants to change the rules against it, and modify them to facilitate their interests. The negotiations can make legislators doubt or rethink a regulation. That is when Congressman has to think to support the interests of citizens, who were the ones who took him/her to office in the elections. So congressmen serve the people, not large companies.
