Which scenario best represents monopolistic competition? a. two new restaurants open to compete with a national food chain. b. two firms compete against each other to sell pearls in an urban market. c. a family decides to stay at specific hotel on vacation because it has a swimming pool with a slide. d. a company wins a contract to be the sole provider of phone and cable television service for a city. i believe the answer is d. however, i'm not 100% sure. note: this particular question is in the economics field.

The example that best represents a monopolistic competition is option D) “A company wins a contract to be the sole provider of phone and cable television service for a city.”

Monopolistic competition always refers to a company offering a service and has no other companies to compete with. In this case, consumers cannot choose among different providers of the same service.  

Options A and B are incorrect since in the examples there are companies and chains competing one another in a given area.  

Option C is also incorrect since a family is making a decision based on the facilities offered by a hotel which does not mean that there are no other hotels in the vacation area they chose.  

#1 im pretty sure its a.

option d is correct. corroborated sources of historical evidence   is necessary to validate a claim about an event in history.

historians tend to use written sources, but audio and visual materials as well as artifacts are important objects that supply information to modern historians.

historical sources are usually divided into two categories: primary and secondary sources. depending on the historian's intent, some sources shift their designation. determining what type of sources toimplement, and the level of credibility and reliability of those sources, is a significant step in critical thinking for the historian.
