The revision that will correct the punctuation error in the sentence is:
2. replacing the comma after "aside" with a semicolon
Explanation:
The sentence can be basically divided into <u>two main ideas</u>. One concerns the shopping list made by Angela's brother. The other concerns Angela picking up the real list to go shopping. <u>The first idea is developed by listing the silly items Angela's brother wrote down and saying that Angela put that list aside. To start the second idea, a comma does not suffice. Therefore, we need to place a semicolon after "aside", since that is where the first idea ends. The semicolon will come before "then", which is the mark of what Angela did next, the second idea. </u>The correct sentence is:
"Chuckling, Angela looked over her little brother's shopping list of bubble gum, race cars, and a puppy, and laid it aside; then, ignoring Harry's protests, she picked up the real list and headed for the door."
Based on the given sentences above, the <span>sentence that correctly punctuates a nonessential appositive phrase is this: </span>Leo, one of thirteen constellations in the Zodiac, contains ten stars. The answer is the second option. In this sentence, the nonessential appositive phrase is "one of thirteen constellations in the Zodiac". Hope this answers your question.

Answer:
a. indifferent
Explanation: As a poem written in honour of a lost friend and relative-to-be, the poet here describes in a beautiful form of poetry, how he perceives that nature seems indifferent to anyone's life as anyone may pass away with apparently no reason whatsoever whilst others do not. Just as the first few lines of this lyric perfectly summarize the whole idea of the poem, ..." A thousand types are gone: I care for nothing, all shall go." Usually in a scarped cliff or quarried stone, you may find fossils and all that is bygone, and such is his feeling after relating it to the passing away of his very young in-law.
