Answer 1

E) 1, 2, and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A partnership is a very flexible business which is very easy to set up but has some disadvantages also and they include:

1. partners have unlimited liability.- if losses are expected to continue, then the partners will probably decide to liquidate the partnership.
2. risks of disagreements between the partners.- if the partners are incompatible and cannot agree upon the decisions that need to be made, the partnership will probably be liquidated
3. if the partners decide to leave because they retire then the partnership will probably have to be liquidated unless a new partner replaces the one that leaves or the other partners buy his/her share of the partnership.
