Diane: as we both know, the population of this country is aging. elderly people generally prefer not to live in harsh climates characterized by extreme temperatures. accordingly, in this country's coastal regions, where the climate is generally most temperate, the population is likely to grow, while other regions are likely to suffer population declines.

paul: i disagree. with few exceptions, regions where the climate is harsh are characterized by comparatively low living costs, a compelling factor for retired people with little savings and on fixed incomes.

which of the following is the most likely point of disagreement between diane and paul?

a. the reason for the population shift toward coastal areas and away from other regions

b. whether the country's current decline in overall population will continue into the forseeable future

c. why older people find certain regions where the climate is harsh attractive places to live

d. whether regions characterized by harsh climates are likely to experience population declines in the foreseeable future

e. the extent to which coastal regions are affordable places to live for retired people

D. whether regions characterized by harsh climates are likely to experience population declines in the foreseeable future

Explanation:

Both Paul and Diana talk about regions with harsh climate conditions. Meanwhile, Diana says that they will experience a decline in population because elderly people will move from to the regions with a more temperate climate. At the same time, Paul talks about another consideration important to the elderly people - cost of living. He says that regions with harsh climate are cheaper to live in and thus more attractive for elderly people.

Thus, point of disagreement between Diane and Paul is  about the probability that regions with harsh climate will have a population decline in the future.

well, paralell is parallel. i am providing links to .

hope this !

a series circuit is one with all the loads in a row. there is only one path for the electricity to flow. if this circuit was a string of light bulbs, and one blew out, the remaining bulbs would turn off.

unlike in series circuits, a charge in a parallel circuit encounters a single voltage drop during its path through the external circuit. the current through a given branch can be predicted using the ohm's law equation and the voltage drop across the resistor and the resistance of the resistor.

a parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic rules: a parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit.

answer; ///the above statement is (false);
