1. I believe that Airbus would have become a viable competitor without subsidies‚ although it would have taken significantly longer. By merely introducing an alternative would have gained new customers as competition not only forces the competitors to produce better products‚ but it drives prices down.

Although her life experiences were not very encouraging but she wrote about hope‚ strength and courage‚ despite being a victim of pathos and acute mental and physical
