Which person would most likely be in the market for a mortgage loan? Person A: I just got a great new job, so I want to buy a bigger house. I'd like to take out a big loan that I can pay off over a long time while I'm living in the new house. Person B: I want to buy a new video game, but I don't want to take out a real loan. I'd rather just get an advance on my next paycheck so I can buy the game right now. Person C: I just got into medical school, but the tuition is really expensive. I need to borrow some money to pay for school, and I'll pay it back after I start working as a doctor. Person D: I don't need to borrow money right now, but I want to have access to money whenever I might need it. It would be nice to be able to pay off some bigger purchases over time.​

The hawthorne works was a large western electric factory with 45,000 employees. during the 1920s and 1930s, hawthorne works was the site of some well-known industrial studies. in one of the studies, researchers investigated the impact of different working conditions on worker productivity. prior to the start of the study, researchers secretly measured workers' productivity for several weeks. then researchers chose two workers, who then chose their own teams. the teams were separated from the general workforce and completed their work in different experiment rooms where the researchers could observe them more easily. over a 5-year period researchers manipulated the structure of the workday for each team (number and duration of breaks and number of hours per shift). for each of these changes in working conditions, the researchers measured the effect on productivity. for some conditions, such as frequent short breaks, workers rebelled by intentionally decreasing productivity.why did the researchers secretly measure the workers' productivity before creating the two treatment groups? a, to create similar treatment groups so that a cause-and-effect relationship could be establishedb, to draw conclusions about the productivity of all workers in the plant based on the test groupsc, to directly control for confounding variablesd, to provide a baseline for measuring worker productivity
