Answer:

The answer to the question: What is a disadvantage of the McDonaldization of society, would be: A: There is less variety of goods.

Explanation:

McDonaldization is basically a standardization of an organizations´ processes to ensure a balanced, equal and constant, but much more efficient, growth in production, so that competition is possible with others. There are four basic elements that are worked on through this process, and they are: efficiency, calculability, predictability and control. The problem with this system is that as standardization happens, less skill is needed in workers, and products have become also standardized, with much of the same, and only prices being the competing interest. Thus, when looking at the market, and the offers, there are many such things, but they are all basically the same, with more of a focus on how costly, or inexpensive the product is. This is why the answer is the first one.

koban [17]

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.

valentina_108 [34]
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.

Correlation is defined as the relations between the two variables whether negative or positive. It means, changes in a variable can cause a change in other variables.

In the given example, the researcher does not show any direct relation between scores and encyclopedia. The researcher incorrectly inferred that scores are the cause of the encyclopedia.

Hence, the correct answer is "D".

laila [671]
This is both true and untrue. It's true because knowing the language you can get a job and work in a foreign place and eventually become a naturalized citizen of the place. It is untrue because the person there should also know the customs and culture and not just the language, because lack of knowing these can lead to alienation and depression.
