Additionally, it shows that the original poster is engaged and interested in continuing the discussion, which may encourage others to participate and provide a response.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    My dog ran away. I can post a flyer in my local Buy Nothing Group?

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Posting a flyer in a local Buy Nothing Group may not be the most effective way to find a lost dog. Buy Nothing Groups are typically focused on giving away or sharing items for free, rather than locating lost pets. It would be more appropriate to contact local animal shelters, veterinarians, and neighbors, as well as posting on social media and putting up flyers in the neighborhood.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    I have a size 7 shoe and need a size 10.  I can just trade someone in the Buy Nothing Group.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the Buy Nothing Group is a platform where people give away items for free, not trade them. Therefore, it would not be possible to trade a size 7 shoe for a size 10 shoe in this group.

    Rate this question:

    Correct Answer
    C. Yes, if transparent about what is happening with item.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Yes, if transparent about what is happening with item." This means that the person is allowed to get an item off of the Buy Nothing Group for the homeless woman in the alley, as long as they are open and honest about their intentions and what they plan to do with the item. This ensures that there is transparency in the transaction and prevents any misunderstandings or misuse of the item.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    I own a welding shop and am giving away 5 hours of welding to someone in the group. I need to leave my company name and information out of the post.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given answer "True" is correct because the owner of the welding shop wants to give away 5 hours of welding to someone in the group, but does not want to include their company name and information in the post. This implies that the statement is true, as the owner intends to keep their identity anonymous while offering the welding services.

    • B.

      False

    Rate this question:

  • 16.

    • B.

      Make another post for her. after all the more post the more likely she is to get help.

    • C.

      Send her a link to a local toiletry resource.

    • D.

      Find links on making your own shampoo to share.

    Correct Answer
    A. Nothing.
    Explanation
    The best thing for the person to do is nothing because they are unable to help Monica with her need for shampoo. Making another post or sending her a link to a local toiletry resource would not be helpful as they are unable to provide any assistance. Similarly, finding links on making your own shampoo would not address Monica's immediate need for shampoo. Therefore, doing nothing is the most appropriate course of action in this situation.

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement mentions that there will be free ice cream at the park tonight and the person is considering posting it in the Buy Nothing Group. However, the Buy Nothing Group is typically focused on giving away or trading items that people no longer need, rather than advertising events or promotions. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to post about the free ice cream in the Buy Nothing Group. Hence, the correct answer is False.

The main purpose of this group is not just to get rid of stuff or to get free stuff, but to foster a sense of community and connection among neighbors. By participating in this group, individuals have the opportunity to meet and interact with their neighbors, building relationships and creating a stronger sense of community within their local area.
