One who adheres strongly to the principles of democracy would

respect the right of others in the society.
The rate of plant growth correlates positively with the amount of
rainfall in an area; that is, the increase of decrease of rain is followed by
an increase of decrease in plant growth.
Your parents and other kin, even you uncles and aunts, influence
your life in some ways.
We all wish for a healthy body, a happy personality, a good mind,

Many schools still segregate males from females; in the past,
universities enrolled only men.
Though the representatives of countries may confer for many days,
their discussions rarely lead to complete agreement.

One solution to the nations termite problem could be growing in

the fields of Africa. Seaphire International of Phoenix is developing
termite-proof particleboard made from sea asparagus, a crop harvested
annually in Africa and Mexico for its oil and asparagus tips. Because the
plant is irrigated with seawater, the board has a salt content of 450
milligrams per ounce salty enough to ruin the appetite of hungry
termites.
Particleboard is used for cabinetry, flooring, and other
nonstructural elements of a house. The new board is as strong as other
medium-density agro-based particleboards, such as those made from rice,
straw, and soy. In addition, says Seaphires Roy Hodges, the boards high

salt content retards fires (its retardancy is comparable with that of

particleboard specially treated to resist fire).
The new board should appear commercially in about a year, first in
deforested Eritrea a small African country on the Red Sea with the
worlds largest sea asparagus farmsthen in the United States around
2004. Seaphire plans to expand its farms in Mexico to manufacture
boards for the United States. That may help alleviate the termite problem
that plagues Southern California and other warm regions.
The national problem mentioned in the text is caused by
1. poor farming in warm regions
2. particleboard
3. an overabundance of sea asparagus
4. termites

It is stated in the text that farmers gather sea asparagus.

1. once a year
2. in any season
3. in the summer
4. twice a year
From sea asparagus, we can get
1. termites
3. straw

2. Seawater
4. Oil
