1. Draw Conclusions Why did England ban skilled tradesmen like Samuel Slater from leaving the country?

2. Expressing and Supporting a Point of View Do you think it was important for
the United States to produce its own textiles? Provide reasons or examples to sup-
port your point of view.

Samuel Slater was an Englishman who sailed to the United States under a false name in 1789. It was illegal for textile workers like him to leave Britain because they didn't want any other country to copy its new machines for making thread and cloth.

answer: a

explanation:  

stocks and bonds are the two main classes of assets investors use in their portfolios. stocks offer an ownership stake in a company, while bonds are akin to loans made to a company (a corporate bond) or other organization (like the u.s. treasury). in general, stocks are considered riskier and more volatile than bonds.

savings accounts are just money in a bank- they are insured by the fdic for up to 250,000.   very little risk

the average mutual fund holds hundreds of different securities, which means mutual fund shareholders gain important diversification at a low price. which means if one stock or bond drops it will have very little affect on the mutual fund - again very little risk
