Imagination is essential in writing novels, just as it is in reading them. 41- The main difference between the two types of imagination described above is that ....... .

Natural immunity is that which a person is born with and can vary even within a community.

To insure the security of this trade, the so-called mother countries gained political control of many territories and created colonies all over the world.

Even sharp-beaked birds like the vulture have to wait until hyenas arrive if they are to eat such a tough-skinned animal as an elephant.
