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

  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.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released reports detailing the deaths of infants (younger than 1 year of age) who died after being given cold and cough medications. This underscores the importance of educating parents that children younger than 2 years of age should never be given over-the-counter cold and cough medications without consulting their physicians.

Intradermal injections are somewhat difficult to correctly administer because the skin layers are so thin that it is easy to accidentally punch through to the deeper subcutaneous layer.
