D. All of the above.

The type of chemical, its concentration, and weather conditions where said chemical is introduced are factors that determine how harmful an introduced chemical will be in the environment.

Examples of chemicals that are harmful to our environment are:
1) organochlorines - compounds like polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) originally developed for use in electrical equipments as cooling agents. They are carcinogenic and capable of damaging the liver, nervous system, and the reproductive system in adults.
2) dioxins - by-product of the manufacturing, moulding, or burning off of organic chemicals and plastics that contain chlorine. An environmental and health hazard.
3) cadmium - used in batteries, plastics, pigments and metal coatings. Produced by mining and other industrial activities. Accumulation will lead to kidney and bone diseases.

At the end of his life, Laozi (Lao Tzu) is said to have A. disappeared in a large cave in southern China. B. sailed with friends
arlik [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D

Explanation:

According to Sima Quian (a Chinese historian of the early Han dynasty), Laozi became progressively tired of the moral decay in the city of Zhengzhou (capital of the Henan Province) and the kingdom's decline, therefore he decided to venture west riding a water ox, never to be seen again. The ox in Chinese culture represents the undisciplined nature of the self, the image of Lao Tzu riding the ox means that he became one with his own nature and tamed it.

Which statement best describes the lesson we can learn from Lupe's experience?
mezya [45]

The answer is: c. It’s important to keep accurate records.

In cases when the people from authority need to conduct an audit to our financial information, they will crosschecks the accounting records that we have with the actual proof of the transaction (slips, bank statement, cheques, etc). If, there are some inaccuracies in the records, they could use it as a proof to indict us for financial frauds even if it's a honest mistake on our part.
