Feldman has also reached some of his own conclusions about honesty, based more on his experience than the data. He has come to believe that morale is a big factor—that an office is more honest when the employees like their boss and their work. He also believes that employees further up the corporate ladder cheat more than those down below. He got this idea after delivering for years to one company spread out over three floors—an executive floor on top and two lower floors with sales, service, and administrative employees. (Feldman wondered if perhaps the executives cheated out of an overdeveloped sense of entitlement. What he didn’t consider is that perhaps cheating was how they got to be executives.) Which idea from the excerpt best addresses the counterclaim that people are only honest when there is a financial incentive?

Employees tend to be more honest when they like their boss and their work.

Explanation:

A counterclaim is an objection to an original claim. The original claim from the excerpt is the belief that employees tend to be more honest when they like their boss and their work. The counterclaim, however, is saying that employees are only honest when there is a financial incentive.

Feldman's experience however shows the first claim to be true for him. His experience as a delivery man for several years made him observe that employees are more honest when they like their bosses and their work, whereas, those further up the corporate ladder who were expected to be more honest since they had more financial incentives, were actually the ones cheating.

either a donut or a sphere or a pancake or a flat sphere. it depends on where the vertical line is.

if the line goes through the center of the circle and is perpendicular to a diameter containing the center, then you get a flat circle.

if the line and the diameter of a the circle meet in the center of the diameter and at an angle, you get a pancake.

if the line is on the circumference of the circle and is at right angles   to the circle you get a ring.

if the line contains the diameter, you get a sphere.

the the line is parallel to the diameter and touches the circumference, you get a donut.
