Answer:

Not a single person.

Explanation:

In the essay "I, Pencil" by Leonard E. Read, the author says that though about one and one-half billion pencils are produced in US alone each year, he says that not a single person in the whole earth knows how to actually make a pencil.

The author says that the economy of the country could never be systematically planned when not even a single person possesses the skills to even make a pencil. The writer uses the word 'pencil' to represent the most simplest tool yet how no one actually has the skills to make one in the country.

Tides are caused by Moon's gravitational force.Water bulge in the direction of Moon due to gravity.This is called tidal force.Water on the side of moon bulge out towards the Moon.This bulge is called high tide.When earth is away from moon it experiences low tide.
