The correct answer is A.

The sentence should be written like this: <span>Sadly, even after that water is found, only some of it's clean and safe enough to drink.

Because the sentence is saying "only some of IT IS clean and safe enough to drink," an apostrophe should be used.

The correct answer is A. (9) Sadly, even after that water is found, only some of its clean and safe enough to drink.

Explanation:

In grammar, a contraction refers to putting together two or more words usually by omitting certain letters and using an apostrophe (') to indicate the contraction. Additionally, the apostrophe is necessary because without this it cannot be identified two words have been contracted and this leads to changes in the meaning of sentences.

In the case of sentence (9) "Sadly, even after that water is found, only some of its clean and safe enough to drink" this is missing an apostrophe in "its" because in this case, this word refers to "it is" or "it's" that expresses the condition of water as clean and safe rather than to "its" that is used as a possessive form of the noun "it".

In your journal or using your computer, list all of the reasons Pushmataha believes war
DerKrebs [107]

Few Choctaws from the early 1800s are better known than Pushmataha. He negotiated several well-publicized treaties with the United States, led Choctaws in support of the Americans during the War of 1812, is mentioned in nearly all histories of the Choctaws, was famously painted by Charles Bird King in 1824, is buried in the Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C., and, in April 2001, a new Pushmataha portrait was unveiled to hang in the Hall of Fame of the State of Mississippi in the Old Capitol Museum in Jackson, Mississippi. Early twentieth-century ethnologist John Swanton referred to Pushmataha as the “greatest of all Choctaw chiefs.”1

Despite his seeming familiarity, Pushmataha's life is not as well documented nor as well known as a careful biographer would like. What is known suggests that Pushmataha was an exceptional man and charismatic leader. He had deep roots in the ancient Choctaw world, a world characterized by spiritual power and traditional notions of culture. In addition, Pushmataha effectively confronted a rapidly changing era caused by the ever-expanding European and American presence. 

but main reasons why it that it gave

him land, power, followers and respect from his people...

2 Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth,
mash [69]

<u>The correct answer is D. The men who had just spoken before him. </u>  At the beginning of his speech he apologizes for not agreeing with most of the opinions expressed previously by some of those present. He asks them to fight for freedom since peace does not exist even though men shout peace! peace!. The expression "siren song or song" refers to the speech with pleasant and convincing words but that may hide some deception or seduction. Patrick with his words inspired the beginning of the American Revolution. He incites the struggle not to chains and to slavery.
