Q:

Most modern Banking Systems are based on

A) commodity money B) 100 percent reserves
C) fractional reserves D) money of intrinsic value
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) fractional reserves

Explanation:

Most modern banking systems are based on Fractional reserves.

 

Fractional-reserve banking is the practice whereby a bank accepts deposits, makes loans or investments, but is required to hold reserves equal to only a fraction of its deposit liabilities. Reserves are held as currency in the bank, or as balances in the bank's accounts at the central bank.

1. In a fractional reserve banking system banks can create money through the lending process.

2. A fractional reserve banking system is susceptible to bank panics.

3. Bank panics are a risk of fractional reserve banking, but are unlikely when banks are highly regulated and lend prudently.

Q:

How long is a giraffe tongue in feet

A) 1.6 B) 6
C) 18 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1.6

Explanation:

A typical giraffe neck can stretch as long as six feet, the giraffe's tongue usually measures 18-20 inches long.

 

Why that much long:


Giraffe's eat Acacia tree leaves. The acacia tree's tasty leaves are protected by very sharp thorns. The giraffe's long tongue allows it to reach the highest, tastiest leaves while avoiding the sharp thorns. Its tongue also features a thick, tough layer that protects it from being cut by the thorns. If a giraffe's tongue does get cut by a thorn, its extra-thick saliva has antiseptic properties that help it to heal quickly.
