Answer:

The following are the advantages of the public distribution system:

1. It has helped in stabilizing food prices and making food available to consumers at affordable prices.

2. It has helped in avoiding hunger and famine by supplying food from surplus regions of the country to deficient regions.

3. The system of minimum support price and procurement has contributed to increase in food grain production.

The following are the disadvantages of the public distribution system;

1. Instances of hunger occur despite granaries being full. This points to certain lacunae or inefficiency in the system.

2. High level of buffer stocks often leads to wastage of food grains and deterioration in quality.

3. The storage of food grains inculcates high carrying costs on the government.

On a national basis, natural gas has long been the dominant choice for primary heating fuel in the residential sector. Lately, electricity has been gaining market share while natural gas, distillate fuel oil, kerosene, and liquefied petroleum gas (propane) have declined.

Part of the national change in heating fuel choice can be attributed to population migrations farther west and south. But even within Census regions, electricity has been gaining market share at the expense of natural gas. The Northeast is the exception, as both natural gas and electricity have been increasing while distillate fuel oil and kerosene have declined.

In the Midwest, most homes are heated by natural gas. The Midwest also has the highest percentage of homes heated by propane, although both natural gas and propane have lost market share to electricity since 2005. The South is the only Census region where electricity is the main space heating fuel in the majority of homes. Heating fuel preferences in the West largely mirror the national average, although households in the West are more likely to use wood as their primary heating fuel or to report not using heating equipment at all.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can answer the following.

One of the government's accomplishments under the Articles of Confederation was an arrangement for handling currency to be created.

The problem with the Articles of Confederation (the first form of the Constitution in the United States) was that it left a weak central government that couldn't do much. Indeed, Congress was not able to raise an army or collect money. If Congress needed money, it had to ask from the states, that remained sovereign and could collect money through taxation.

That is why delegates met at the Constitutional Convention in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1787, to create a new Constitution.
