Answer:

Leafing—a gardener tends plants that have leaves

Explanation:

A landscape can be Urban as well, but plants do tend to have leafs. It's a noticeably odd choice of words and it has a purpose. There's no pun in the use of the words "Enjoy" and "Magazine". But the word leaf can mean two things that relate to the gardener and his action in the excerpt:

<em>"a flattened structure of a higher plant, typically green and blade-like, that is attached to a stem directly or via a stalk"</em>

or

<em>"turn over (the pages of a book or the papers in a pile), reading them quickly or casually"</em>

Wich is treated better:the elderly or foster teens? Why?​
Feliz [49]
I would say the elderly because as we know they lived longer then us and have experienced much more then we have, when you look at it from there you would see why they are more respected. On the other hand foster teens are not treated as good is because majority of teens that come from foster care don’t have a high school diploma and struggle on relationships so they are thought of as a burden.
