Answer:

The corrrect answer is option<u> b) "The rain fell in steady, repetitive, cycles throughout the night."</u>

Explanation:

One of the common uses of commas in punctuation is to separate adjectives that describe a noun, this is called "coordinate adjectives". In this case, in option B we are separating coordinate adjectives that describes a rain cycle  (steady and repetitive) but word "cycle" is a noun, not an adjective. Therefore, a comma is not needed before the noun "cycle".

In the rest of the options, the comma is used to separate adjectives that describe nouns so they are correct:

a) bright, squared-shaped package

c) cool, inviting atmosphere

d)  long, treacherous path

Eassy on women in space
Paladinen [302]

Explanation:

Women in space have been present and active since the beginning of human spaceflight. The first woman flew to space in 1963, two years after the first person, but it was not until almost 20 years later that more would be sent.

Since then a considerable number of women from a range of countries have worked in space, though overall women are still significantly less often chosen to go to space than men and represent by 2020 only 10% of all astronauts who have been to space.By 2021 most of the 65 women who have been to space, have been United States citizens, with missions on the Space Shuttle and on the International Space Station. Other countries have had one (United Kingdom, France, South Korea, Italy) or two (USSR, Canada, Japan, Russia, China) women citizens in space, taking part in missions of programs with human spaceflight capability.

Additionally one dual Iranian-US woman citizen has participated as tourist on an US mission. It has even been concluded that women might be better suited for longer space missions.[3] The main obstacle for women to go to space remains gender discrimination.
