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.

What is the relationship between honey and a flower?
lara31 [8.8K]

The relationship between bees and flowers is called symbiosis.

Symbiosis: A relationship between two organisms in which the organisms benefit from one another.

How Bees Benefit Flowers.

Bees pollinate flowers, which means they transfer the pollen made by one flower of one plant to the flower of another plant. Bees do not purposely do this. Actually, the bees are trying to collect the pollen to take back to their hives. In the process of going from one flower to another as they collect pollen, some pollen is picked up from one flower and accidentally dropped on another flower. Pollination results in the formation of seeds.

Hope I helped :)
