    Which sector will be affected greatly if the beach is in the vicinity of an oil spill?

    • Education

    • Tourism

    • Fashion

    • SMU Students

    Correct Answer
    A. Tourism
    Explanation
    If a beach is in the vicinity of an oil spill, the tourism sector will be greatly affected. This is because the beach is a major attraction for tourists, and an oil spill can lead to pollution of the water and shoreline, making it unsafe and unappealing for visitors. Tourists may choose to avoid the area, leading to a decrease in tourism revenue and negatively impacting businesses that rely on tourism, such as hotels, restaurants, and tour operators.

    • Money (anything goes with money, right?)

    Correct Answer
    A. Bamboo
    Explanation
    The Chinese used bamboo to drill holes to extract oil in ancient times. Bamboo is a strong and durable material that can be easily shaped and sharpened into a drilling tool. Its hollow structure allows for the extraction of oil from the ground by creating a pathway for it to flow through. Bamboo was readily available and cost-effective, making it a practical choice for drilling purposes during that time.

    Correct Answer
    A. Liquefied
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Liquefied." LNG stands for Liquefied Natural Gas, which is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state for transportation and storage purposes. The process of liquefaction involves cooling the gas to extremely low temperatures, around -162 degrees Celsius, which reduces its volume and makes it easier to transport in large quantities.
