right answer^^

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

• A company says that a wide range of products can be used with its product, which is not actually true. = vendor lock in.

• A group of companies agrees to charge the same inflated price for a good. = price fixing

Price fixing is when producers or suppliers agree to sell a product at a particular price which is fixed. Price fixing brings about high prices of goods and also fosters unfair competition.

• A large company charges a price below production cost in order to eliminate small competitors = predatory pricing

Predatory pricing simply refers to an illegal act by companies whereby prices are set low in order to remove competition from others. Antitrust laws are violated through predatory pricing due to the fact that it can lead to monopoly.

Doth still persist in her rebellious pride:
And love not like to lusts of baser kind,
The harder won, the firmer will abide.
The durefull Oak, whose sap is not yet dried,
Is long ere it conceive the kindling fire:
But when it once doth burn, it doth divide,
Great heat, and makes his flames to heaven aspire.
So hard it is to kindle new desire,
In gentle breast that shall endure for ever:
Deep is the wound, that dints the parts entire
With chaste affects that naught but death can sever.
Then think not long in taking little pain,
To knit the knot that ever shall remain.

I wrote these, and was wondering which one was better....

Prolouge
Fairies are wonderful creatures, filled with light and joy. With little silky wings and anglelic voices. They dance on the wind and fill the skies with laughter. But within them lies a darkness, like all creatures have. And when you hurt them, the darkness takes over. their wings turn black and sharp, their light turns to shadows and their voices turn to screams, They hold to hate and anger, to all the dark things that swim in mens minds, they know joy no more, and they wish to steal yours. So, Please heed my warning. and I will tell you a story, anout a fairy whom was betrayed, a fairy who lost her way, a fairy whos tears stained the world.
Chapter one
Her feet skim the forest floor, her hands brush the trees, her eyes close and her lips sing. slowly she rises, her feet no longer on the ground. Her hands drop to her side but her fingers splay out and dance to her song. She twirls with grace and rises, higher, higher, higher. And following her, little bodies of light, singing a song, only they remember. They swirl around the girl and kiss her cheeks, she smiles and slows to a stop, just hovering there, above the treetops. The fairies whisper in her ears and giggle holding out their little hands, expectant. The girl laughs, a beautiful, hypnotic sound. "Shh, my little friends, here you are. Quiet now. share, would you?" She hands them crumbs of cake, velvet and chocalate and all the flavors of the wonderful substance. The fairies smile and their tinkiling filles her ears. "Yes, i know. you won, you caught up to me - but it IS harder to be faster, seein how i'm bigger than you and all." they circle her head and perch on her shoulders "But soon i'll be faster than all of you. and not even the ancient peter pan could catch me!" she smiles with the thought and slowly drifs down to the forest once more. Waving goodbye to her little friends, she races again though the forest, her feet not touching the ground.

OR....


She shuffled her feet and sighed, making it quite obvious that she was upset. The caseworker didn't respond. Of course. Why would she? She was only uprooting her life again. Home-hopping wasn't fun. . She had been in what? Three homes in the past year? She tried to be good, be the best. But she obviously wasn't good enough. she must have done something wrong. Something must have made them not want her. She just didnt know why she wasn't good enough. She fiddled with her name tag, which read Aria, or it was supposed to, it actually spelled Area. Sighing again she tried for a more vocal approach.
"Ahem." She raised an eyebrow, trying to hide the sour sting in her heart. the caseworker finally looked up "What? You hungry? Thirsty?" She shook her head after a second "Just sit still, we will have you relocated soon enough." Relocated? Was she a dog? "I was just gonna ask why i have to leave another house." The caseworker sighed "Because of...Difficulties." Aria frowned thats all they ever said. "difficluties." She hadn't relized she said it out loud until the caseworked sighed louder than she had before. "Listen, it just didn't work out. You'll be in a new home soon." Aria clenched her jaw "It's not really a home when you only live there for four months." This time the caseworker ignored her. So Aria leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes. wringing her hands until they turned white.
When she opened them again the sky had turned to a pink shade, and she watched for a second as it slowly sank towards the ground. She glanced around and met the eyes of her annoyed caseworker, who obviously wanted to go home. "Get up. You're sleeping here toninght."
"What-?" Aria clenched her hands, digging her fingers into her palm.
"I said you're sleeping here." she jabbed a finger towards a room, the door was slightly ajar and inside was a table a couple chairs and a couch. Aria frowned "On a couch?" the caseworker nodded "I'll be in the next room."

Excerpt from bee Season answer key

What meaning does the phrase “on the dot” in line 14 convey to the reader?

HELP PLEASE



(MC)
I MET a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the sand.
Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command.
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
