Answer:

b. A bookstore is a good alternative to a library.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the different sentences provided in the question, there are certain sentences that are true while one is not.

a. In the Christian Bible, the book of Nehemiah 10:37 clearly states that the people "will bring a tithe of our crops to the Levites, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all the towns where we work".

c. In the process of consumption, a factory direct means any product that the consumer acquires directly from the manufacturer. And there is no involvement of the middle guy, the seller.

d. The book of Proverbs 23: 4-5 clearly warns the believers to stay away from any worldly material gains or riches. For they are "like an eagle" which will "sprout wings and fly off to the sky". It also warns against riches and trusting on our own "cleverness".

e. In the Bible, giving of tithe is the right of God, as a return for what he has bestowed upon man. And this involves giving 10 % of the whole portion.

Whereas, the statement that a bookstore is a good alternative for a library is wrong. It can never be an alternative for a library, for in a library, we can get books for free and read as much as we want whereas a bookstore requires you to actually buy the books before you can read it.
