Consumption occurs when consumers "set apart" objects and events from normal activities and treat them with respect. consumption, in contrast, describes objects and events that are ordinary or everyday, they don't share the "specialness" of sacred ones.

Explanation:

This differentiation is based on special religious events (e.g. religious holidays) that considered some goods as sacred, while profane had to do with everyday life.

Some modern marketing strategies try to build sacred brands. For example, Google has become our God of all knowledge and no one even dares to challenge that almost religious belief. Anyone can make their own coffee or buy coffee at any coffee shop, but Starbucks is different, it has built a sense of emotional connection with the public. It's not any coffee that we need or want.  

900 people.

Explanation:

If you are in the 55th percentile then that means that you scored better than or at least as good as 55% of people who took the GRE because a peecentile is a measure that states the position of a number in a data set as a percentage.

If calculating how many people had a mark at least as high as your own, that means those people who scored higher than or at least what you scored.

If you scored higher than 55% then that means that,

= 100 - 55

= 45%

45% scored at least as high as you.

2,000 took the test so 45% will be

= 2,000 * 45%

= 900 people.

900 people scored at least as high as you.
