<u>Answer</u>:

Fluorite  is a mineral could be scratched by a penny but not by a fingernail.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Friedrich Mohs was a German mineralogist who developed a hardness scale. The least hard mineral was talc and hardest mineral is Diamond which ranged from Scale 1 to 10. Mohs Hardness scale is a measuring metric which is used to determine the hardness of a metal where one of his standard definitions about “scratching a mineral” using fingernails is very much popular. In that he defined that “Calcite, Talc and Fluorite” can be scratched using fingernails and only “Fluorite” from the given options can be scratched by a penny but not by a fingernail.

Although schools have implemented e-learning to keep the students on track because of the coronavirus outbreak, it is only slightly better than there being no classes. The lack of tangible connections and face-to-face interactions with teachers and peers isn't helping in this model. This allows procrastination and distraction with there being no enforcement of attendance. Students with weak internet connection are at a disadvantage, while the 40 minute session is hardly enough to get anything done. All in all, going to school is more efficient than online tuition.
