Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Even where there is an efficient ‘door-to-door’ delivery system, there are additional advantages inusing Post Office (PO) boxes There are certain conveniences for using PO boxes
PO boxes allow mail to be picked up when sorted, rather than when it is delivered to the physicaladdress, which will be some hours later
A mail user who regularly receives large parcels or items that must be signed for may find itconvenient to pick up the rest of the mail at the same time
A mail user who moves frequently can keep a mailing address
A mail user may desire a more famous or prestigious address For example, in Washington, D.C.,many large P.O box facilities are located near or even outside city limits
A business receiving large volumes of mail may maintain separate post office boxes for separatedepartments, such as one for sales, one for customer service, to reduce the need to sort internally
PO boxes are more secure than many home mailboxes, preventing mail theft and identity theft
If you live on a boat, PO boxes can serve as your address, but are not necessary
36 A PO box is more convenient for a mail user who frequently moves,
37 If you use a PO box, you can get your mail earlier than you use a door-to- door delivery system

40 If you live on a boat, the post office does not allow you to rent a PO box
