The bagel data also reflect how much personal mood seems to affect honesty. Weather, for instance, is a major factor. Unseasonably pleasant weather inspires people to pay at a higher rate. Unseasonably cold weather, meanwhile, makes people cheat prolifically; so do heavy rain and wind. Worst are the holidays. The week of Christmas produces a 2 percent drop in payment rates—again, a 15 percent increase in theft, an effect on the same magnitude, in reverse, as that of 9/11. Thanksgiving is nearly as bad; the week of Valentine’s Day is also lousy, as is the week straddling April 15. There are, however, a few good holidays: the weeks that include the Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Columbus Day. The difference in the two sets of holidays? The low-cheating holidays represent little more than an extra day off from work. The high-cheating holidays are fraught with miscellaneous anxieties and the high expectations of loved ones.


Based on the excerpt, the conclusion that “personal mood seems to affect honesty” is best supported by which of the following statements?

Relaxing summer and fall holidays generally cause payment rates to drop.

Stressful fall and winter holidays generally cause payment rates to drop.

Relaxing summer and fall holidays generally cause theft rates to increase.

Stressful fall and winter holidays generally cause theft rates to remain steady.

Stressful fall and winter holidays generally cause payment rates to drop is the conclusion that “personal mood seems to affect honesty.

It is the phrase used to describe an immoral act. It's a derogatory phrase. It is a phrase used to describe unsuitable circumstances.

The author emphasizes in the article how some people become less honest during specific holidays, like Christmas and Thanksgiving. The chilly weather that prevails on these occasions is also linked to this rise in dishonesty.

Thus, option B is correct.

Match each detail from the passage with the statement that best explains how it develops the character of Simon Wheeler in the cultural setting.

adapted from The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County
by Mark Twain
I found Simon Wheeler dozing comfortably by the stove of the run-down tavern in the decayed mining camp of Angel's. I noticed he was fat and
bald-headed and had a gentle, simple expression on his calm face. He stood up and said good day to me. I told him that a friend of mine had asked
me to inquire about a dear companion of his from boyhood named Leonidas W. Smiley-Reverend Leonidas W. Smiley. He was a young minister who
supposedly was living at one time at Angel's Camp. I added that if Mr. Wheeler could tell me anything about this Reverend Leonidas W. Smiley, I
would be most grateful.
Simon Wheeler backed me into a corner and trapped me there with his chair. Then he sat down and reeled off a monotonous story. He never
smiled; he never frowned. He never changed his voice from the gentle-flowing tone in which he began his first sentence. He never gave the slightest
hint of enthusiasm. But all through the endless narrative he stayed impressively earnest and sincere. This showed me that, far from thinking there
was anything ridiculous or funny about his story, he thought it was a really important matter. He admired the heroes of the story as men of great
genius. I let him go on in his own way and never interrupted him once.

(1)One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.

(2)"What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table -Samsa was a travelling salesman - and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.

(3)Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense", he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.

At three years old, Louise Braille had a condition most children never have to worry about. He was blind. While growing up, he felt that he did not want to be a burden on his family. He wanted to be an active member of society and not let this complication hold him back. Since he was unable to see words to read, he needed a solution that would enable him to read without sight. He solved his problem by creating a series of bumps taken from military code that represented words. This new type of reading was called Braille. People without sight still use Braille as their main source of reading. Thanks to 15-year-old Louise Braille, people who are blind can live normal lives.
