A mutual fund is a group of stocks and bonds. When you purchase a mutual fund, you are pooling your money with that of a bunch of other investors. As a group, you pay an expert to select which stocks and bonds to buy and to manage the fund by reallocating money or buying and selling stock when necessary. Ideally, an expert will do a better job picking stocks and bonds than you will, so your return on investment will be higher. Mutual funds are also a good idea because by spreading your money around, you reduce the impact that a decline in any one investment’s value will have on you overall.

Why might you invest in a mutual fund?

A
if you don’t want to diversify your investments

B
if you want an expert to pick your investments

C
if you want to control your investments by yourself

D
if you want to invest your money only in bonds

-
Lights of ships moved in the fairway—a great stir of lights going up and going down.

And farther west on the upper reaches the place of the monstrous town was still marked ominously on the sky, a brooding gloom in sunshine, a lurid glare under the stars.”

Many cities and towns have community gardens--places the city council sets aside for people to rent garden space and plant a few veggies or flowers. The question, though, is whether they are totally useless or not. To evaluate this, it is important to look at how much time and how much money are needed to set the garden up, what it takes to maintain the gardens, and whether people use them and benefit from them. When you look at the big picture, community gardens in most large cities are awesome. However, as someone who visits the community garden in my small town every now and then, let me tell you, it is pricey, dicey, and seedy but not in a good way, a real waste of space.
Usually, city gardens need to be built from scratch. That means cities must buy and haul in all the materials for the garden beds. If these are raised beds. They must buy bricks or lumber. Sometimes organizers of community gardens will get lucky. Someone will donate materials to them. They still must have it moved on-site, though. Also, many community gardens require loads and loads of dirt and fertilizer, plus, an irrigation system. It takes a lot to make a garden from zilch. The costs can far outweigh the benefits in small communities. Larger cities can make this work. They have more options for materials. They also have more people using the completed garden.
The next important thing to look at is how the community keeps up the garden. Often community gardens require their renters to spend a certain amount of time weeding and watering the garden. While this might sound good in theory, my experience is that people rarely follow through. They usually start out doing a bang-up job in the spring during planting time, but then their lives get more and more swamped, so they disregard this commitment. If a city is large enough to have someone on site. Maintenance is not as big of a deal. However, in my small community garden, no one is ever around. In fact, weeds are the reigning “vegetable” growing in our community garden. This makes our town's community garden a waste of time.
Thanks, Weirdo12345

6. There are many types of lethal venom in the animal kingdom, but perhaps no stranger carrier than the platypus. The platypus is one of few venomous mammals. Males carry a venom cocktail in their ankle spurs that incapacitate victims with excruciating pain. Stranger still, the platypus is the only mammal that uses electroreception. What this means is that the platypus uses its bill to sense the electricity produced by the muscular movements of its prey. The platypus neither sees, hears, nor smells its prey while hunting but, rather, pursues it through electroreception. Perhaps most odd, the platypus is the only mammal that lays eggs rather than giving birth to live young. The platypus is an odd creature indeed. Summarize this paragraph in one sentence. Be specific and clearly explain the main idea. Answer- An appropriate title:

Read the following paragraph and select the author's purpose in writing that paragraph.



Christopher Columbus was a famous explorer who discovered the New World while searching for a western route to the Indies. Although all other merchants had traveled eastward to the Indies, Columbus was convinced he could reach the Indies by traveling west. He begged the king and queen to give him money, equipment, and supplies for his journey. Although Christopher Columbus did not find what he was looking for, on October 12, 1492, he and his men discovered the New World. The world owes a great debt to the courageous explorations of Christopher Columbus.
