Answer:

There will be 16 people who are both writer and editor

Explanation:

We have given there are total of 100 people

So total = 100

There are 45 writers so,Writers = 45;

It is given that there are more than 38 editors so ,Editors > 38

Both = x;

Neither = 2x

We know that

Total = Writers + Editors - Both + Neither  

100 = 45 + Editors - x + 2x

x = 55 - Editors

We want to maximize x, thus we should minimize Editors minimum possible value of Editors is 39, thus:

x = Both = 55 - 39 = 16.

Shtirlitz [24]

The correct answer is: "semantic encoding".

In general, encoding techniques are applied in order to elaborate on the information perceived by our senses, seeking to appropiately store it in our longer lasting memory units and to optimize subsequent retrieval.

Semantic encoding consists on relating certain concepts to a context in order to remember them better afterwards, using mechanisms such as chunking or mnemonics. This is the case in the research described where, in order to remember a list of objects, participants connect them to a house context.

How did royal power in England progress from William to Henry || to John to Edward |
noname [10]

Well, William was succeeded by his son William II (William Rufus), who was succeeded by his brother, Henry I, who should have been succeeded by his only surviving legitimate child, Matilda.  

However, England wasn't ready for a female monarch, so Matilda's cousin, her father's nephew Stephen, managed to take the throne and fought it out with Matilda during a period known as "the Anarchy". The eventual result was that Matilda's son became Stephen's heir and succeeded him as Henry II.  

Henry was succeeded by his son Richard (the Lionhearted), who died with no children, so he was succeeded by his brother, John. John was succeeded by his son, Henry III, who was succeeded by HIS son Edward I.

Hope this helps please mark as brainliest : )

A(n) _____ reinforcer refers to the removal of an unpleasant stimulus, for instance, putting on a sweater when a person feels it
Dvinal [7]

Answer: Negative Reinforcement

Explanation: Negative reinforcement is an efficient method that can be used to help teach desired  behaviors by removing something uncomfortable  in response to a stimulus which overtime,   that target desired  behavior increases with the knowledge  that the unpleasant thing will be taken away.

for example when a mother switches off the TV when a son hasn't done his homework, and is watching cartoon, this will increase  the chances that the  son over time will do his homework before watching TV as he understands his mother would put off the TV if he doesn't .

Also, putting on a sweater when a person feels it is cold would make him or she feel warmer which will lead to an increase in the probability that response will be repeated in the future.
