Which is a function of regulatory agencies?
encouraging business compliance
creating legislation for businesses
encouraging negative externalities
creating new business opportunities

The correct option is this: ENCOURAGING BUSINESS COMPLIANCE. The correct option is A.

Regulatory agencies are usually put in place by the federal government in order to control and enforce correct standards in the businesses that are operating in a country. For instance, for the pharmaceutical industry, the regulatory agencies for that industry assess the safety of the drugs that are produced by the pharmaceutical companies in order to ensure that correct materials and chemicals that will not injure the public are used.

Explanation:

the exact role and status of women in the roman world, and indeed in most ancient societies, has often been obscured by the biases of both ancient male writers and 19-20th century ce male scholars, a situation only relatively recently redressed by modern scholarship which has sought to more objectively assess women's status, rights, duties, representation in the arts, and daily lives; and all this from almost exclusively male source material dealing with a male-dominated roman world.

women in mythology

unlike some other ancient cultures such as the greeks who had formed a creation myth where woman was a creature secondary to man and, more specifically, in the form of pandora, a bringer of unhappiness and vices, the romans had a more neutral approach where humanity, and not specifically the male, was created by the gods from earth and water. ovid's metamorphoses, for example, does not specify whether the first human was a man or a woman. at least in a physical sense then men and women were not regarded as belonging to a different species as in the greek world, a view often reiterated in roman medical treatises.
