What is oligopoly in economics?

Oligopoly markets are markets dominated by a small number of suppliers. They can be found in all countries and across a broad range of sectors. Some oligopoly markets are competitive, while others are significantly less so, or can at least appear that way.

What is perfect competition in simple words?

perfect competition is a type of market form in which there are many companies that sell the same product or service and no one has enough market power to be able to set prices on the product or service without losing business.

Poem 2 - Solitude - by Alexander Pope (Sem IV)

“Ode on Solitude” is a poem written by Alexander Pope. In this poem, the Pope expresses his desire to lead a quiet and secluded life, with minimal assets. The poet prefers to have just a few acres of land. He would not like to go anywhere out of his native region. He would like to breathe the air of his ancestral place. He wants to have a comfortable and self-sufficient life. He would get milk from the herds, food from the fields, wool for clothing from the sheep. He prefers to be under the shadow of trees during summer, and use the wood to make fire during the winter. All that required is good health, peace of mind and quietness.  He would spend his days in study and leisure, and live a life of innocence and thought. The final note is that the poet would like to live an oblivious life, with no necessity to be mourned or missed once he passes away.
