Question

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Un gasto esencial (fijo) es aquel que no varía y debe pagarse regularmente. Ben acordó pagar la misma cantidad de alquiler cada mes, lo que lo convierte en un gasto fijo. Las otras opciones no definen adecuadamente por qué es un gasto esencial (fijo). Opción a no es la mejor explicación porque aunque no se puede eliminar, la esencia del gasto fijo es la consistencia mensual. Opción b habla de prioridad general de gastos de vida, no de la naturaleza fija del gasto. Opción c se refiere a la decisión inicial de elegir el apartamento, no a la naturaleza fija del pago mensual.

Answer:

d. He agreed to pay the same amount every month.
