something, they can sometimes act rudely towards others when they’re trying to get it. Imagine trying really hard to
get tickets for a music show you really want to go to. When there isn’t an unlimited supply of things, like with
tickets, people don’t want to miss getting them. They might behave badly when they’re trying to stay ahead. For
example, they might push their way to the front of a line, or shout at other people. (Unit 6)

(A) Speak loudly and angrily.
(B) Push people out of the way.
(C) Wait patiently for their turn.
(D) Use bad language towards others.
