The correct answer is False

Explanation:

The term "subsidence" describes a phenomenon in which the ground's surface sinks or has a downward movement. This can be naturally caused by certain processes such as natural compaction or natural changes in the soil. However, nowadays most cases of subsidence are the result of human actives and especially due to the withdrawal of materials that are underground such as petroleum or groundwater.

In the case of groundwater, which refers to the extraction of water that is beneath the surface of soil, this is used for multiple purposes such as irrigating crops, getting drinking water and for industry and in all these cases it can lead to subsidence depending on the conditions of the soil and the amount of water extracted. This implies both types of withdrawals of groundwater cause subsidence and therefore it is false withdrawal of groundwater for agriculture does not cause land subsidence but withdrawal for water does.

Which sentence is punctuated correctly? A. My friend, Greg, likes to bake cookies for the people in the office. B. My friend, Gr
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter A. My friend, Greg, likes to bake cookies for the people in the office.

Explanation:

What we have in this sentence is an appositive, a word or phrase immediately following and renaming another word or phase. Our appositive here is "Greg", which is renaming the noun "friend". Since "Greg" is only giving additional but not essential information, it could easily be removed from the sentence. Notice how the sentence would still make sense: " My friend likes to bake cookies for the people in the office." Since this appositive is not a restrictive one, it should be framed by commas. That is why the best option is letter A.
