Annabel 13 Dec 22 19:30 I think it's undebatable that biodiesel is extremely renewable. It mean~ that there's always more where it comes from. Literally. Biodiesel is sourced from natural organic matter like plants and animal oils which, if produced in a sustainable manner, could last forever. Raita Gina 13 Dec 22 19:37 I couldn't agree more. Biodiesel is a non-toxic fuel producing lower emissions as compared to fossil fuels when burnt. This lessens the risk of respiratory illnesses due to reduced air pollution. Ratna JN 13 Dec 22 19:43 But biodiesel is created by plants. Farmers are mostly pushed to grow crops which can be used to make biofuel. This would lead to shortage of food as the crops grown would be used for the making of biofuel, it would also increase the prices of food which might be a bigger problem for many people. Ahmad Hakimi 13 Dec 22 19:45 I also read a research which discovered that biodiesel turns into a gel at low temperatures. Drivers are unable to use the fuel source in cold climates. So I think consumers can only use biodiesel as a fuel source in warm climates. Yoon Dowoon 13 Dec 19:49 Biodiesel is also a little bit more expensive than conventional diesel fuel. A B20 blend of biodiesel costs 15 to 30 cents more than conventional fuel and pure biodiesel (B100) can cost as high as 1$ more per gallon. Jann Brune 13 Dec 19:51 But adopting biofuels can actually reduce the import of diesel: Including China and the US on top, there are 100 countries that have to depend on foreign countries for imported oil. Importing oil really hurts the economy because the country loses a lot of money. Adapted from: Soomro, https:l/www.environmentbuddly.com/energy/biomass-energy/biodiesel-definition-advantages-and-disodvantages/ and https:/1environment.co/advantages-and-disodvantages-of-biodiese/1 7. The following table lists the advantages and disadvantages of biodiesel based on the thread. Which pairs of advantages and disadvantages are true? Which are false? 1. Advantages => Reneweable; Disadvantages => Costly (True/False) 2. Advantages =>Safe for health; Disadvantages => Changing into gel (True/False) 3. Advantages => Abundant in nature; Disadvantages => Not able to be renewed (True/False) 4. Advantages => Independence from importing oil; Disadvantages => Disturbing food security (True/False) 5. Advantages => Able to be applied in tropical countries; Disadvantages => Able only to be utilized in cold regions (True/False)

Competition Rivalry among business and service industries is called competition. This feature of a market economy encourages business to improve their goods and services, keep their prices affordable, and offer new products to attract more buyers. There are four basic types of competition in business that form a continuum from pure competition through monopolistic competition and oligopoly to monopoly (see diagram). At one end of the continuum, pure competition results when every company has a similar product. Companies that deal in commodities such as wheat or corn are often involved in pure competition. In pure competition, it is often the ease and efficiency of distribution that influences purchase. In contrast, in monopolistic competition, several companies may compete for the sale of items that may be substituted. The classic example of monopolistic competition is coffee and tea. If the price of one is perceived as too high, consumers may begin to purchase the other. Coupons and other discounts are often used as part of a marketing strategy to influence sales. Oligopoly occurs when a few companies dominate the sales of a product or service. For example, only five airline carriers control more than 70 percent of all ticket sales in the United States. In oligopoly, serious competition is not considered desirable because it would result in reduced revenue for every company in the group. Although price wars do occur, in which all companies offer substantial savings to customers, a somewhat similar tendency to raise prices simultaneously is also usual. Finally, monopoly occurs when only one firm sells the product. Some monopolies have been tolerated for producers of goods and services that have been considered basic or essential, including electricity and water. In these cases, it is government control, rather than competition, that protects and influences sales. The following chart represents the competition continuum. Most ------ Competition ------- Least Pure competition - Monopolistic competition - Oligopoly - Monopoly 2. Which type of competition is subject to the greatest government control? A. Oligopolies B. Monopolies C. Monopolies competition D. Pure competition E. Pseudo competition

Whether one is awake or asleep, the brain emits electrical waves. These waves occur in predictable sleep cycles that can be measured with an electroencephalography, known more commonly as an EEG. During wakefulness, the waves are recorded at about ten small waves per second, but with the onset of sleep, the waves become larger and slower. The largest, slowest waves occur during the first three hours of sleep when mental activity slows down but does not stop. In fact, if awakened from slow waved sleep, a person can often remember vague thoughts that occurred during that period of sleep, but the sleeper does not generally dream. Referred to as NREM or non-REM sleep, it is characterized by large, slow waves. During sleep, intervals of small, fast waves also occur in patterns similar to those experienced while awake. The eyes move rapidly, and it appears to the observer that the sleeper is watching some event. Sleepers who are awakened during this rapid-eye-movement sleep will often recall the details of dreams they have been having. Sleep of this kind is called dreaming sleep or rapid-eye-movement sleep, also known REM sleep. REM sleep is emotionally charged. The heart beats irregularly, and blood pressure may be elevated. In contrast, the body is so still that the dreamer may appear to be paralyzed. In a period of eight hours, most sleepers experience from three to five instances of REM sleep. Each instance lasts from five to thirty minutes with an interval of at least ninety minutes between each one. Later instance of REM sleep are usually of longer duration than are instances earlier in the eight-hour period. Since people who suffer sleep deprivation experience fatigue, irritably, and loss concentration, we must conclude that sleep is essential because in some way it regenerates the brain and the nervous system. NREM sleep increases after physical exertion, whereas REM sleep tends to increase after a stressful day. Studies suggest that non-REM sleep may be especially helpful in restoring muscle control, whereas REM sleep may be more important in revitalizing mental activity. it appears that both kind of sleep are necessary, and the recuperation of sleep of one kind will not compensate for a lack of the other kind of sleep. (taken from BARRON'S Practice Exercises for The TOEFL 6th Edition, 2007) 20. It can be inferred from the passage that students who are writing term papers __ . A. require slow-wave sleep to increase mental activity B. can stay up all night working and recover the sleep they need by sleeping for a few hours the next afternoon C. need REM sleep to restore mental functioning D. do not need as much sleep because of the heightened brain waves involved in creative activity E. need to compensate their loss sleep during a stay up-night-study in the following nights
