We've all heard the saying "Good things come in small packages." However, today it seems like many small things ordered over the

Internet come in huge packages. For instance, when my wife ordered a tube of lipstick from an online store, it came in a container the size of a shoe box. When I ordered a new pen, it came in a box that could have held 200 pens!
Shipping things in boxes that are too big is very wasteful. Manufacturing cardboard boxes uses a lot of paper and water. Even though small items don't weigh much, when they are packed in big boxes they take up more room in delivery vehicles. That means those trucks have to make more trips and use more fuel, which in effect gives off more pollution.
What can consumers do about this waste? First, they can complain to the companies that ship small things in large packages. Second, they can recycle those big boxes.


Which of these sentences would the author most likely agree with?

A.
People should shop on the Internet instead of in local stores.
B.
Trucks are not helpful for transporting cardboard boxes.
C.
Products that weigh more should be packaged in larger boxes.
D.
Many companies should rethink how they package and ship items.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

shape metal by melting it and pouring it into a mold

Explanation:

To cast is to pour a melted metal into a mold so that it acquires the form of the mold. A cast piece is not formed under pressure but rather left to take on the shape of the mold in which it is poured.

Casting can be used for many different types of material, of which some of the most common are plastics and metals since they can be melted relatively easily and their is a demand for them to be made into certain shapes.
