Answer:
Trends, which were already in motion, accelerated, and that acceleration has brought us at least several months, if not years, forward. We have observed new users coming online even in the most penetrated markets; we have seen digital natives experimenting with shopping in new categories. For instance, at eBay alone, we have noted six hundred percent growth on VR headsets.
I believe it’s a kind of a ratchet – once people have crossed that threshold of being comfortable buying everything from grocery to dumbbells online or in the app, they won’t go back. This is a behavioural change.

"This town does not actually exist, but it might easily have a thousand counterparts in America or elsewhere in the world. I know of no community that has experienced all the misfortunes I describe. Yet every one of these disasters has actually happened somewhere, and many real communities have already suffered a substantial number of them. A grim specter has crept upon us almost unnoticed, and this imagined tragedy may easily become a stark reality we all shall know."
Explanation:
Rachel Carson explains about a town with nature's beauty, where plants, animals, birds and human all lived in harmony. Suddenly due to some evil effects, everything changed. Humans, children died to strange sickness. Birds disappeared, hen did not lay eggs, apple trees bear no fruits, rivers and streams dried, fishes died. A white powder showed on the roofs sprayed by people which caused destruction.
Rachel Carson explains further that the town she describes does not actually exist to make the readers understand the effects of the chemicals and insecticides caused mass destruction due to extensive use causing the nature to perish slowly. She insisted on taking necessary steps to notice the changes before it becomes a dark reality.
Answer/
Urban agriculture has become increasingly popular today, especially in cities and towns. It is recommended for people with extra space in their homes. Extra space in the home compound that is not useful can be transformed into a farm. For other people, urban farming is a hobby. They enjoy cultivating during their leisure time. Cultivating in the urban centers is an interesting phenomenon as one does not have to change his or her lifestyle. Urban Agriculture does not take much of a person’s time since the farming space may be small. Most of the urban farms need to be attended to during leisure times and free time.
