question:Here is a question about this article: Switzerland voted against membership in the European Economic Area in a referendum in December 1992 and has since maintained and developed its relationships with the European Union (EU) and European countries through bilateral agreements. In March 2001, the Swiss people refused in a popular vote to start accession negotiations with the EU. In recent years, the Swiss have brought their economic practices largely into conformity with those of the EU in many ways, in an effort to enhance their international competitiveness. The economy grew at 3% in 2010, 1.9% in 2011, and 1% in 2012. Full EU membership is a long-term objective of some in the Swiss government, but there is considerable popular sentiment against this supported by the conservative SVP party. The western French-speaking areas and the urban regions of the rest of the country tend to be more pro-EU, however with far from any significant share of the population. What is the answer to this question: How has Switzerland maintained its relationships with the EU?
answer:Switzerland has maintained its relationships with the EU through bilateral agreements. These are special agreements between Switzerland and the EU that help them work together and cooperate in different areas, even though Switzerland is not a member of the EU.
question:Question: Where did Victoria visit after Leopold advised her to make more public appearances? Is She agreed to visit the gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society at Kensington and take a drive through London in an open carriage. a good answer to this question? Available choices: * yes * no
answer:Answer: Yes Explanation: The response provided suggests Victoria decided to engage in public appearances after the advice from Leopold. She chose to visit the Royal Horticultural Society gardens at Kensington and took a drive through London in an open carriage. However, the question does not specify these as the correct answers, the response aligns with the action suggested by Leopold (making more public appearances), thus making it a suitable answer. As to the choice "no", it is incorrect because the details provided in the response are actually relevant to Victoria making more public appearances which is the core content of the question.
question:State Minister Alekos Flambouraris also told Greek media he believed the European Central Bank (ECB) would not allow Greece's banks to collapse. Reports say billions of euros have been withdrawn from Greek banks in the past week. The summit comes amid attempts to prevent Greece defaulting on a €1.6bn (£1.1bn) IMF loan repayment. The European Commission, the IMF and the ECB are unwilling to unlock bailout funds until Greece agrees to reforms. They want Greece to implement a series of economic changes in areas such as pensions, VAT and on the budget surplus before releasing €7.2bn of funds, which have been delayed since February. Details of the new proposals have not yet been released. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has said he believes "there will be a solution based on respecting EU rules and democracy which would allow Greece to return to growth in the euro". But German Chancellor Angela Merkel has warned there must be a deal between Greece and its creditors ahead of Monday's summit. Otherwise, she said, the summit would not be able to make any decision. Mr Tsipras was due to hold further talks with his negotiating team in Athens on Saturday. Greece has less than two weeks before the IMF loan repayment is due. If Greece fails to make the repayment, it risks having to leave the eurozone and possibly also the EU. On Friday, the European Central Bank (ECB) approved more emergency help for Greece's banks. The amount of extra funding has not been officially disclosed. Reuters news agency said withdrawals by Greek savers between Monday and Friday reached about €4.2bn, which represents about 3% of household and corporate deposits held by Greek banks at the end of April. Close to €1bn was withdrawn on Friday alone, the financial website Euro2day said. "There are no lines [queues] or panic, it has been a quiet and gradual phase of withdrawals," one banker told Reuters. A fully fledged run on the banks could upset the plans of the Greek government and its creditors, says BBC Europe correspondent Chris Morris. He says that any introduction of capital controls will depend on the behaviour of the Greek people. He says that if the outflow of deposits from banks reaches alarming levels which no-one can really cope with, then the decision will be taken out of policymakers' hands.

Greece debt crisis: Full coverage Is Greece close to Grexit? EU solidarity damaged by Greek splits What was that article about?
answer:The article discusses the ongoing Greek debt crisis and the attempts to prevent Greece from defaulting on a €1.6bn IMF loan repayment. It mentions that billions of euros have been withdrawn from Greek banks during the week, and that the European Commission, IMF, and ECB are unwilling to release bailout funds until Greece agrees to economic reforms. German Chancellor Angela Merkel warns that a deal between Greece and its creditors must be made before Monday's summit. The article also discusses the impact of a Greek default on the country's membership in the eurozone and the EU, as well as the potential for capital controls if the outflow of deposits becomes too alarming.
question:This question has options. Answer the question about text: Now , neither of these words has ever been used to describe any of my athletic efforts so I just waited apprehensively until I was called to run 30 feet , pick up a block , transport it 30 feet back to the starting line and do this all over again in - if I wanted to get solidly on the road to a blue award - less than 10.5 seconds . I had just got done watching one bigger , athletic girl run it in 9.8 seconds and another small , non - athletic female in 11.3 . I was confident , especially since my running mate , Kayla , was the fastest girl in the class . What may be the reason I am happy Kayla is the fastest girl ? Pick your answer from: [+] None of the above choices . [+] We are running a relay race and we need fast runners . [+] I want to race the fastest because of my excellent athletic abilities . [+] It comes in handy when one is running from a police block .
answer:The reason the narrator may be happy that Kayla is the fastest girl is because they are running a relay race, and they need fast runners. The context of the story revolves around the narrator's lack of athletic prowess, specifically in a race where they need to pick up a block and bring it back in a short amount of time. By having Kayla as the fastest girl in the class, it implies that they will be able to make up for any potential shortcomings in their own performance by having a fast teammate to help carry their team to victory. In addition to this, there are psychological factors that can come into play with having a strong team member, such as increased motivation and confidence, which can ultimately contribute to improved performance. The narrator, despite feeling apprehensive about their own athletic abilities, may feel at ease knowing that they have Kayla on their side, who is known for her excellent speed. Moreover, in the context of a relay race, each participant in the team plays a crucial role in the overall success of the group. A fast runner like Kayla can help compensate for any weak links or mishaps that may occur during the race, boosting the team's chances of claiming a blue award, which the narrator mentions as their goal. This would explain why the narrator is happy that Kayla is the fastest girl in the class. The other provided options do not fit as well in the context of the given text. The narrator does not express any desire to race the fastest person due to their excellent athletic abilities, nor do they mention running from a police block, which seems unrelated to their situation. Similarly, choosing "None of the above choices" would disregard the relevance of relay racing in the plot. Therefore, the most suitable reason for the narrator's happiness about Kayla being the fastest girl is that they are running a relay race and need fast runners to have a better chance at winning the blue award.
