Which of the following is an example of a future? a- five bars of gold b- an agreement to purchase shares of the exxon/mobil corporation. c- a contract for barrels of oil for 3 months d- a package of investments managed as a hedge

Five bars of gold. I don't think it can be oil because all of the oil might run out all over the world in maybe a couple more years.

i don't get what you mean

explanation:

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
