Eskom is one of the natural monopolies that may be found in South Africa. See the definition of Natural Monopoly below.

A natural monopoly occurs when there is an instance in which it is economically viable and better for a single entity to be in full and sole control of the production of a product or service.

The efficient quantity of a good is the amount that makes the good's marginal benefit equal to its marginal cost of production.

Monopoly quantity on the other hand is the point where marginal revenue exceeds the marginal cost, thus requiring the firm to produce the extra unit.

Monopolies are considered to be detrimental to consumers because it prevents competition which helps with increasing efficiency and lowering costs.

One of the effects of the lockdown on Eskom's operation is that it led to the loss of demand for electricity in the region.

Select the correct answer.
Read the adapted excerpt from "What Is an Aquarium?" by Shirley Hibberd.
The term vivarium applies to any collection of animals-to a park of deer, a rabbit warren, a menagerle, or even a traveling show containing
an asthmatic llon, a seedy cockatoo, and a pair of snakes that are hourly stirred up with a long pole. For this reason, such a term could
never convey the very special Idea of a vessel containing such specimens as form the stock of the aquarium. When this was felt, the prefix
aqua was added to vivarium, to convey the idea of the watery medium in which the specimens are Immersed.
Which sentence correctly paraphrases and cites the excerpt?

the more specific prefix aqua to the term.
OB. The term vivarium applies to any collection of animals-to a park of deer, a rabbit warren, a menagerle, or even a traveling
show containing an asthmatic llon, a seedy cockatoo, and a pair of snakes.
OC. The term vivarium applies to the very special idea of a vessel containing such specimens as underwater creatures, conveying
the watery medium in which the specimens are immersed (Hibberd).

creatures, we created the term aqua-vivarium (Hibberd).

His mom, Sylvia, is concerned about the fact that Chad is refusing to take his medication. She has noticed that Chad is starting to cough more and gets exhausted much easier. He stopped taking the medication about two months after Kyle, a friend that Chad had met in the hospital, died. Chad had maintained a friendship with Kyle for about 2 years. Chad respected Kyle because he was one of the few people who didn’t consider him a foreigner, a common occurrence despite the fact that his ancestors immigrated to the Phil. in the late 1800’s.
