• It requires less handling of goods, thereby reducing incidence of pilfering.
• The rate of accidents is minimal.
• It is a more comfortable means of transportation, hence suitable for long journeys.
• The cost of insuring goods conveyed by air is reduced because of the shorter time the insurance company is at risk.
• It costs nothing to provide/maintain air routes.
• Markets are extended as distant markets are easily reached.

(c)Factors to consider in choosing an effective channel of distribution:

• Nature of the product: perishable goods need shorter channels of distribution.
• Competitor’s channels: producers should consider channels used by other producers.
• Cost of the channel: the cost of using a particular channel of distribution should be considered.
• Market size: the number of potential customers will affect the choice of the channel used.
• Financial resources of the producer: the stronger the producer is financially, the lesser the need is for middlemen, hence the need for a short channel.
• Geographical concentration of customers: if customers are concentrated in a particular area, a short channel is required. If customers are widely scattered, a longer channel will be preferred.
• Size of the order: the size of the order will be considered in choosing a channel of distribution.
• Unit value of a product: expensive goods require direct distribution to customers.

Correct Answer: A) Elisha

Explanation

The question is asking which prophet of God left a farming business to serve God, as explicitly recorded in the Bible. The options are Elisha, Ezekiel, Elijah, and Obadiah. The correct answer is option A, Elisha.

Elisha was a prophet in the Old Testament of the Bible. Before he was called by God, he was a farmer, plowing with a team of oxen. When Elijah, another prophet, passed by him, he threw his cloak around Elisha, indicating that Elisha was to be his successor. Elisha then left his farming business to follow Elijah and serve God as a prophet.

This story is recorded in 1 Kings 19:19-21 of the Bible. It shows that God can call anyone to serve Him, regardless of their occupation or background. It also demonstrates the importance of being willing to leave everything behind to follow God's call.

Correct Answer: C. Commensalism

Explanation

This is an example of commensalism as one species benefits (the remora) and the other species is not affected (the shark). The remora gains food and has to use little energy to obtain that food whereas the shark does not notice the small remora riding on its skin. The remora does not prey on the shark, the two are not in competition with each other because the remora consumes discarded food, and the remora does not harm the shark, so it is not a parasite.
