English

The correct answer is C. Leo, one of thirteen constellations in the Zodiac, contains ten stars.

Explanation:

In grammar, a nonessential appositive phrase refers to a phrase or set of words that adds extra information usually by explaining or defining one of the elements of the sentence but that is not necessary for a sentence to be complete. In terms of punctuation, these phrases should be set apart by using commas or parentheses before and after the appositive phrase.

In the case of the sentence presented the nonessential appositive phrase is "one of thirteen constellations" because this phrase only explains the term "Leo" but is not necessary for the sentence "Leo contains ten stars" and therefore, the sentence that punctuates correctly this phrase is "Leo, one of thirteen constellations in the Zodiac, contains ten stars" because according to grammar appositive phrases should be enclosed by commas or parentheses and in this case the commas are placed before and after the appositive which is correct.

Need help ASAP <br><br><br>Write a story based on this image ​

Answer:

The lady and the shopper

On a single beautiful Friday morning, I was running the cash register at my job, "Billy's Grocery Store." I had just got done scanning a huge load of groceries from a expecting mother and a tired looking father. It looks like they bought out the whole pastry section! But who am I to judge, because I did the same thing when my son was born! But then the next customer was a little man, and he had just got his groceries scanned and was heading to pay. He couldn't find his charge card anywhere and was repeatedly saying over and over how sorry he was for holding up the line. So I did the only reasonable thing. I pulled out my own charge card and payed for his little basket of baked goods, and medications. He was so surprised, and he explained that this was for his wife who is really sick. He went out to get her meds, and he decided to buy her some snacks to make her feel better. I think this was the best day at my job ever, helping people always puts a smile on my face! :)
