The correct answer is option D) “Every purchase you make at a chain store is sale that a local small business misses out on.”
A zero-sum game in this example represents the following situation: if the amount of sales increases for a chain store, then the amount of sales will equally decrease in a small store.

Hey Senpai,
Hey Haylee, I wish you were here... I’ve had to deal with a lot of things without you... school has gotten worse since you moved away, the bullies have been targeting me. They throw rocks at me, they say I should never have been born... but I am getting used to it. I can’t wait till I get to go to your house, is it cool? Is the neighborhood cool? I have a ton of questions, but we both know if it sucked, you’d move back here lol well, I love you... hope you feel great and are being appreciated
Yours truly, The polite Senpai
(This is a real letter I’ve sent to my friend)
