Response: B) He considers them as lesser than himself.

Explanation:

The statement about Burton's fondness for colored individuals becomes ironic after further reading. He does possess some affection and respect for the maternal figure of "mammy" and sees colored individuals as efficient servants. However, they are expected to "know their place" and should not presume they are equal enough to dine with Burton, which he would refuse to do even offered a fortune. Thus, we observe how such supposed "fondness" is constrained by bias, believing that colored people belong below him.

Summarize how levitt and dubner logically support their argument that cheating exists when there is high incentive, but that the
Leya [7781]
Levitt and Dubner, the authors of the influential book "Freakonomics," argue that students have always felt compelled to cheat to achieve better grades, which in turn can lead to improved social status. Additionally, teachers started to engage in cheating as they, too, faced pressures related to their students' performance, with their employment sometimes hinging on student success. For instance, in Chicago, a school was nearing closure due to poor grades, prompting teachers to resort to dishonest practices to retain their jobs. While this behavior did arise from incentives, Levitt and Dubner's findings suggest that only around 5% of teachers engage in cheating, with honesty prevailing among the majority. A similar trend is observed with sumo wrestlers, who often cheat in response to dissatisfaction with their low incomes.
