Campus Bookstore Should Sell Snacks and Drinks
In addition to selling books and textbooks, I think the campus bookstore should also offer drinks and snacks for sale. The bookstore could have a few chairs and tables available where students could sit and have a snack or something to drink, while the/re looking through books and deciding what to buy. It would also be convenient for students who got hungry between classes, and wanted to grab something to eat before going to their next class

Compound Nesting
Sometimes two different species of insects live close together, side by side. The two insect groups might even share the same home. But the two species often are different enough that they do not have to compete for the same resources, and therefore they can avoid conflict. This is known as compound nesting. Compound nesting actually provides advantages to both species: because living closely together can result in a specific benefit to each group, benefits that increase both species‘ chances of survival
Explain how the example from the professor‘s lecture illustrates the concept of compound nesting.
Task4:
Using points and examples from the lecture, explain two ways that consumers reduce the feeling of risk when making a purchase.
