Laughter is an element that must be present in our lives. This is because it is a result of the well being that we are feeling and causes happiness that generates a strong relief for our mental health. In addition, many people are unaware of the physical benefits that laughter can have on our bodies.
Despite the scientifically proven benefits, laughter was not always so normal in our society, since in the Middle Ages it was seen as something sinful and that should be avoided by good Christians. Currently, our society has failed to smile more, due to the problems of modernity and the suppression that everyday life causes in our mental health.
However, it is important to emphasize the importance of laughter in our lives, as scientists around the world confirm that it is capable of promoting calorie burning, reducing stress, strengthening the abdomen and the immune system, stimulating friendship and relationships improving sleep quality, blood circulation, breathing and diffusion.

Answer:
Disobeying his aunt
.
Asking questions about everything
.
Commenting on the two stories he is told.
Explanation:
Satire is a literary tool that writers use to provide humor, and even at times a 'truth-behind-the scene' comment which may be what the writer wants to expose but didn't want to admit directly. It becomes a tool for the writer to express the things that may seem hard to address.
In H. H. Munro's short story "The Storyteller", Cyril is the small boy traveling with his aunt and two sisters. And through this young character, the author uses the tool of satire to bring into focus some of the themes he wants to express or bring to light himself. And by exaggerating the character of Cyril, he allows the readers to get a sense of what the aunt is like. Cyril becomes the tool through which some issues were raised, when he disobeyed his aunt when he is told not to smack the cushion, asks numerous questions unnecessarily, and even commenting on both the stories that were told to him. He even openly proclaimed <em>"It is the only beautiful story I have ever heard"</em>, indirectly commenting on the story-telling ability of his aunt.
Thus, the <u>correct answers are the first, second, and last options</u>.
Answer:
A. The Bronx squirrels that eat nearly all of the trees' acorn in the New York Botanical Garden.
Explanation:
<em>The City Without Us </em>is a chapter of the book <em>The World Without Us</em> written by American journalist Alan Weisman. It tells about what would happen to the natural and built environment if humans suddenly disappeared.
<em>The City Without Us</em> gives us an image of what New York would look like without humans. Some of the details are presented in the options you were given.
It's expected that wild animals, wolves included, would enter the city if there were no humans. That's how nature works.
Money is a concept invented by the man, and it has no meaning if humans don't exist. It has nothing to do with nature.
The ocean is a large force and it's one of the obvious proofs of how powerful nature is. In the story, though, it has not yet broken the levees around New York City.
What remains are the squirrels. No one would think that squirrels could do something major. Without anyone or anything controlling their population, though, they could eat nearly every acorn in the New York Botanical Garden, thus preventing them from growing into new oaks. That way they would reduce the oak tree population in New York. They show that nature is even more powerful than it appears.
