Ben and alison have decided to turn their large farmhouse into a bed-and-breakfast business. one of the benefits they're likely to enjoy is a. high ratings by national organizations. b. relaxing days at home. c. keeping their day jobs. d. a profit margin of 15–20 percent.

D. A profit margin of 15-20 percent.

Explanation:

Ben and Alison have determined to run a business that would require efforts to set it up productively, so they cannot have relaxing days at home. After that in order to establish their business efficiently,  they would have to toil endlessly and thus, they can not restrict their jobs to days only. Then, the high ratings by national organizations can never be assured even after years, for them, it's just the beginning. Thus, the only one left is the profit margins(D) as if one starts a business, its sole aim is to earn profit at first, other purposes come later.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
