Let the negotiations begin!
Select the answers from the list below which reflect the demands of Kay C. Hogwash:
Kay C. Hogwash wants: a/an initial 1 payment of $10,000, and a/an additional 2 payment of $10,000.
He requests a/an time frame 3 of 6 months to write the book for Delavigne.

1 initial: This is correct. Kay C. Hogwash demands $10,000 dollars "up front" for writing a book for Delavigne. An "up front (payment)" refers to a payment that is made immediately, initially, or before any work is completed. Receiving an "up front" payment often indicates that there will be further, or additional payments at a later date.
1 total: This is incorrect. An "up front" payment does not refer to a "total payment". Also, Hogwash requests two payments of $10,000, making a total payment of $20,000 dollars.
1 final: This is incorrect. An "up front" payment does not refer to a "final payment".
1 bonus: This is incorrect. An "up front" payment does not refer to a "bonus payment".
2 additional: This is correct. Kay C. Hogwash requests a "further" payment of $10,000 "upon completion" of the proposed book for Delavigne. In this context, "further" and "additional" are synonymous. Payment "upon completion (of a task)" refers to payment to be received once a task has been finished or accomplished.
2 bonus: This is incorrect. "Further" payment does not refer to a "bonus payment".
2 total: This is incorrect. "Further" payment does not refer to a "total payment". Also, Hogwash requests two payments of $10,000, making a total payment of $20,000 dollars.
3 time frame: This is correct. A "time frame" or a "time scale" refers to a period of time in which a task will be accomplished, or more simply, the duration of an action. For example, "the time scale for this project is 6 months, or 'we estimate a time frame of 3 years for the company to become profitable". These terms are frequently used to describe the duration of future actions, or actions which have not yet taken place.
3 delay: The term "delay" generally describes a period of "lateness" or "deferment". For example: Due to the bad weather, we expect delays. The term is rarely used to describe the duration of a future action, and saying that you require a "delay of 6 months" to do something is incorrect.
3 time warp: It's just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right. Put your hands on you hips, you bring your knees in tight. But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane. Let's... do... the time warp again! But on a non-musical note, this answer is incorrect. A time warp is a sort of temporal anomaly made famous by the Rocky Horror Picture Show. For more information about time warps, contact your local mad scientist.
3 extension: This is incorrect. An "extension" is a prolongation of an already-established deadline or time frame. The term isn't synonymous with "time frame" in this context.
