The next time you purchase a pineapple at the market, don't throw away the top of it.
  You can grow your own pineapple plant. After you cut off the base with the leaves, scrape
  all of the extra meat of the fruit off of the leaf base. When you scrape you should see little
  circular specks around the perimeter of the leaf base. These are root buds. Keep the leaf base
  in a shaded, dry place for five days. This will give the freshly cut area time to harden, and
  will prevent it from rotting. Plant your young pineapple in an 8 inch pot. Regular indoor
  potting soil will do the trick. Make sure your pot has good drainage, and keep a dish
  underneath. The pineapple plant is a bromeliad, and makes a beautiful houseplant.
 
  a) The Pineapple Plant is a Bromeliad
  b) Purchasing Pineapples
  c) The Uses of Pineapples
  d) How to Grow Your Own Pineapple Plant

Question 2

Add commas to the following sentences according to the second set of comma rules, those that
  show how commas are used to enclose scoopable elements within a sentence. Remember
  that scoopable elements include names of people being spoken to, interrupting expressions,
  and unnecessary additional information. Scoopable elements require commas before and after
  them to show that the enclosed information can be left out. Some sentences are correct.
