. Flax is a plant with many uses, and it has been cultivated since ancient times. Growing two to four feet tall, the plant has slender stalks,
spear-shaped leaves, and flowers with five petals. The attractive flowers are most often blue, though sometimes white or pink. The plant also has
round seedpods: Inside each pod are two seeds. Flax grows best in cool, moist conditions.
People have found ways to use almost every part of the flax plant. Fiber from flax stalks is used to produce linen cloth. Stronger than cotton,
linen dries quickly, and linen clothes feel cool in hot weather. Lower-grade linens are used to make thread and twine. Ground or whole flaxseeds
are often added to baked goods, such as breads, pancakes, and cereals. Flaxseed oil is edible and researchers believe that it may reduce the risk of
heart disease. Ground flaxseed can also be used to produce linseed oil, a key Ingredient in oil paints and wood finishes. Even the leftovers from flax
processing have an important function; they are fed to livestock

Which two elements does this excerpt from a christmas carol by charles dickens contain? "a small matter," said the ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude." "small! " echoed scrooge. the spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of fezziwig: and when he had done so, said, "why! is it not? he has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. is that so much that he deserves this praise? " "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted. "no," said scrooge, "no. i should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. that's all."
