Read this excerpt from “House Decoration” by Oscar Wilde:

In these days, we hear ladies boast that they do not wear a dress more than once. In the old days, when dresses were decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery, ladies rather took a pride in bringing out the garment, wearing it many times, and handing it down to their daughters. This process would, I think, be quite appreciated by a modern husband when called upon to pay his wife’s bills.

Which sentence correctly paraphrases and cites the excerpt?

A.
Modern husbands who are called upon to pay their wives’ bills are not happy that their dresses are decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery (Wilde).
B.
Fashion was less expensive and more beautiful when women enjoyed wearing a few well-made dresses regularly rather than striving to wear a great variety of clothes (Wilde).
C.
It is better for women to have many dresses that they only wear once than for women to have a few dresses that they have to hand down to their daughters in order to save money (Wilde).
D.
In the old days, when dresses were decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery, ladies rather took a pride in bringing out the garment, wearing it many times, and handing it down to their daughters (Wilde).

MOM: Your homework is more important than both of those things.

ISAAC: I agree with you. But by the time I get home from school, I've been doing schoolwork for eight hours straight. If I had a break from doing schoolwork to take care of the other things I need to do before starting homework, I think I would be more focused. Also, I always finish my homework.

That includes everything from packaged food to video games to dry cleaning. Households provide the factors for production that firms require. These factors include the workers who make, distribute, and sell goods and services. Factors of production also include the revenue that firms earn from consumer expenditures. That money comes from the income paid by firms, primarily in the form of wages. This flow of funds from firms to households back to firms creates an exchange that benefits both firms and households. When an economy is strong, jobs are created and livable wages are paid. This allows workers to spend more money, and the cycle continues.The Circular Flow of IncomeHow does consumer spending stimulate economic growth?Consumer spending pays funds directly into households.Consumer spending increases withdrawals from an economy.Consumer spending allows firms to flourish and new businesses to develop.Consumer spending prevents a factor that can be an obstacle to production.
