Q: (CNN)The 2016 presidential race isn't an abstract parlor game anymore.

With a seven-paragraph Facebook post on Tuesday, Jeb Bush instantly transformed the nascent campaign. His decision to "actively explore" a presidential bid accelerates the scramble for donors. It also gives the former Florida governor time to figure out how to overcome suspicion in the Republican base while positioning himself as the establishment candidate in a fragmented field.

The pre-holiday timing of the announcement was a big surprise to many beyond Bush's tight inner circle. Most of the political spotlight has been on Hillary Clinton this year, leaving GOP donors to sit back, hedge their bets and watch the field develop.

But Bush's decision to make a move now -- 13 months ahead of the Iowa caucus -- speaks to the complicated political decisions facing potential 2016 GOP candidates. They can maintain the coy stance of insisting they haven't made a decision on running, wait out the calendar and hopefully avoid a long, bruising primary like the one that left Mitt Romney damaged in 2012. Or they can start the work now to capture the staff and donors that can take on the Clinton machine.

Bush chose option B.

After all, many GOP donors and operatives, who have serious doubts about much of the field but remain uneasy about the prospect of a bruising primary, have been waiting for a clear signal from either Bush or Romney, who is being pressured by many of his longtime supporters to make a third presidential run.

input: Make use of the article to answer the questions. Jim and Linda are our neighbors. Jim and Linda have an old dog named Reggie. We love our neighbors. They are like the perfect grandparents. We watch Reggie for them when they go out of town to see their children and grandchildren. Reggie is so fun to have around. He is 14 years old. We have 3 other dogs and Reggie is older than all of them. They all listen to what Reggie tells them to do. It is fun to see them respect him.

We are watching Reggie now. He is staying with us for 3 weeks. He likes to go for rides in the car. He likes to go for walks.

This time, when Jim and Linda dropped Reggie off, Jim picked up mom's guitar and played us a song. He was really good! Then Jim and Linda sang a song for us.

I can see why Reggie misses them when they are gone. They are so nice! We give Reggie lots of love so that he is happy at our house when they are on vacation.

He likes our dogs and cats. We have a big black dog named Able. We have a little dog named Mudpuppy and we have a puppy named Goldberry. We have two cats. One of our cats is named Glitch. She has lots of colors. We also have a white kitten named Vex.

One of the best things about watching Reggie is that we know when Jim and Linda come home, Linda bakes us a cherry pie for taking care of Reggie. She makes delicious pie. We are very lucky to have such nice neighbors! 1. Who is Linda?

Hello Sandy, We have just returned form our holiday. We went with our friends,Edward Smith and his wife Tina, to the Yorkshire Moors. It is a beautiful natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills,miles of grassland with no people,just sheep and birds. Edward had just come out of hospital and he could not walk as far as before. However, this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a restaurant for lunch each day before returning to the place we lived in. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant! I took lots of photos from the place we lived in, across the valley below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam-powered trains are very popular. I took many photos of the train. Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early. We usually have snow in January. It rained all day, then snowed in the evening .Today we have bright sunshine! Both Jenny and I are well. I don't know if I told you, in the last e-mail , that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice, and she is enjoying the work. Please write to us to tell us your news. Yours, Victor What are the answers to this following set of questions: 1.
