With so much at stake for the farm we all held our breath throughout the harvest season
which is the best definition of stake in this context
a) a pointed stick or post
b) an interest or share in something
c) at risk or in a contest

The answer is actually B. it said i got it wrong on the test

is there an image you meant to add?

explanation:

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader
