Hypermiling, a term coined by efficiency expert Wayne Gerdes, means improving a car’s gas mileage using simple methods. A person

who practices hypermiling on a regular basis can achieve a 50 percent or better improvement in a vehicle’s official fuel economy estimate.
Improving fuel economy through hypermiling can work for any vehicle. The driver of a 2005 Honda Accord, for example, went from 24 mpg to 35 mpg after adopting hypermiling techniques for one year. Gerdes himself set a world record in 2009 after driving a Ford Fusion Hybrid for 1,445 miles on a single tank of gas. He was able to achieve a fuel economy of 81 mpg, which is more than double the EPA estimate for fuel economy in a Fusion.

Most hypermiling techniques are easy to implement. Driving at lower speeds leads to less fuel consumption. Be sure to drive the posted speed limit—or even slower—to save money. Slowing down also benefits drivers by preventing excessive braking, which reduces gas mileage by as much as 33 percent. Idling the engine for longer than a few minutes can also be costly at the gas pump. Simply by making a few common sense changes, hypermilers can save money and protect the environment.

Answer: A bank uses the resources of many customers to help finance loans to a few.

Explanation: A collective immunity is like a group of people being immune. And if all those people get immunized, then the people who can't physically get immunized will be okay. Now think of the collective immunity as a bunch of people that keep their money in a bank. Someone needs a loan from that bank because they don't have enough money, the "collective group" of people are helping that person out.

Storyteller;Part B:which of the following quotes best supports the answer to part A
Juliette [100K]

Answer:  PART B: Which TWO of the following quotes best support the answer to Part A? A. “Nicholas II, by contrast, was one of history’s most dismal examples of the wrong man, at the wrong time, and in the wrong place. His reign seemed to be almost predetermined to end in a momentous tragedy.” (Paragraph 6) B. “They had ruled Russia for more than 280 years, and most of their subjects—as the czar’s German-born wife, Alexandra, wrote to British Queen Victoria —practically worshipped them “as divine beings.” (Paragraph 9) C. “What the last Romanov did not have was an understanding and respect for the dirt-poor and frequently hungry peasants who eked out a meager living, and it was part of Nicholas’ misfortune that his abysmal insensitivity and weakness were revealed on the very day after his coronation.” (Paragraph 12) D. “In February 1904—less than four months later—Japan launched a surprise attack that destroyed a Russian fleet and threatened to seize Port Arthur, Russia’s only warm-water port. In the war that followed, the Japanese army decisively won every battle…” (Paragraph 24) E. “Nicholas also showed a puzzling disregard for a major uproar in his own court over the growing influence of a mystical faith healer named Grigori Rasputin.” (Paragraph 27) F. “After the control over the country shifted from a provisional government to Lenin’s radicals (the Bolsheviks), the royal couple, their son and four daughters, and the ex-czar’s personal physician and three servants were moved to a house in Yekaterinburg, a town beyond the Urals.” (Paragraph 30)
