Answer : 2. "FALSE"
Explanation :
Answer: B) FALSE Explanation: Nitrogen is found as a diatomic molecule (N2) in nature. There is a triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms. The triple bond is pretty strong. Therefore, it needs a lot of energy to break those bonds and participate in a reaction. So nitrogen is commonly referred to as and used as an inert gas (high abundance & low cost.) However, it’s not truly inert like most noble gases. Nitrogen does react if the conditions are met. But those conditions are not exactly mild, but are not as extreme as for noble gases. It forms nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide with oxygen, ammonia with hydrogen, and nitrogen sulfide with sulfur.

Answer : 3. "Afforestation"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Afforestation Explanation: The four most common soil erosion prevention methods are vegetation, geotextiles, mulch, and retaining walls. By planting grass in areas of concentrated water flow, farmers can prevent much of the soil erosion that results from runoff, as the grass stabilizes the soil while still providing an outlet for drainage. Preventing soil erosion is critical in protecting your property and exposed soil, whether from wind, weather, running water, and even the after-effects of the forest fire.

Answer :
Explanation :
The persons whose primary investing objective is to preserve capital while generating a tax-free income stream, then municipal bonds are worth considering. Municipal bonds (munis) are debt obligations issued by government entities. When you buy a municipal bond, you are loaning money to the issuer in exchange for a set number of interest payments over a predetermined period. At the end of that period, the bond reaches its maturity date, and the full amount of your original investment is returned to you. Types of Municipal Bonds : Municipal bonds come in the following two varieties: 1. General obligation bonds (GO)2. Revenue bonds General obligation bonds, issued to raise immediate capital to cover expenses, are supported by the taxing power of the issuer. Revenue bonds, which are issued to fund infrastructure projects, are supported by the income generated by those projects. Both types of bonds are tax exempt and particularly attractive to risk-averse investors due to the high likelihood that the issuers will repay their debts.
