The best summary of the excerpt is B) “Huskies are resourceful and able to take care of themselves during the summer when men do not use them to pull dog sleds.” The text introduces that during the summer huskies are not needed; therefore they are left on their own and they find resources to eat.
Option A is incomplete as it does not mention what huskies do during summer.
Option C only describes animals but do not explain in which context.
Option D is a phrase within the text but does summarize its content.
Answer:
my answer to this question is to nit say anything
The compound noun in the sentence is A. life cycles.
<u>A compound noun is a word formed by two or more words</u>. The first one generally indicates the type of object/person; in other words, it classifies the object or person presented in the second word. Furthermore, compound nouns have a different meaning than the meaning of the two words taken separately.
In this sentence,<u> "life cycles" is a compound noun because it has been formed with the words "life" and "cycles", which are also two nouns.</u> "Life", in this case, is indicating the kind of cycle that the sentence is referring to. In that way,<u> the compound noun "life cycles", defined as the series of stages that a living organism goes through during its whole life, does not have the same meaning than the words "life" and "cycles" taken alone</u>.
