Which paragraphs in this excerpt from the article "The Melting Arctic" from the European Environmental Agency rely on expert opi

nion to support the organization's point of view? pick all that apply
A. Greenland's ice sheet contains enough water to increase global sea levels by 7 meters. In any case, if it were to melt completely, it would take many centuries. Recent melting of the Greenland ice sheet is estimated to have contributed up to 0.7 millimeters a year to sea level rise (about one quarter of the total global average sea level rise of about 3.1 mm/year). Projections for global average sea level rise estimates by 2100 vary from 0.2 to 2.0, depending on the model and scenario used.
B. "There is substantial uncertainty around by how much the sea levels may actually increase," said Professor David Vaughan from the British Antarctic Survey during his presentation. "Once sea level rises, it is quite difficult to make it fall again. At the moment, the sea level is increasing by about 3 mm per year, but with climate change, this rate is very likely to increase."
C. Vaughan continued, "There are different factors behind sea level rise. About one third of the rise we can expect could be linked to the thermal expansion of oceans. Melting mountain glaciers are also predictable and their contribution can be estimated roughly. The big uncertainty is linked to ice sheets in Greenland and the Antarctica. We have studies on how they are losing ice, but projections come with high levels of uncertainty."
D. Warmer temperatures in the Arctic accelerate the melting, which result in darker surfaces on the sea and land. These darker surfaces retain a larger part of the solar energy instead of reflecting it back. Warmer air and water temperatures in the region also affect the surrounding land, including the permafrost, which has started melting both on land and at sub-sea level. . . .
E. In addition to potentially causing sea levels to rise and contributing to global warming, the Arctic melting could also alter the oceans' salinity levels and affect ocean currents. Moreover, increased absorption of CO2 in the oceans can lead to ocean acidification and this can in turn alter the composition and distribution of key Arctic species like crustaceans, krill and plankton.
F. According to Morten Olsen, chair of a recent Arctic Council assessment on changes in Arctic snow- and ice-conditions, "Changes in the climate and cryosphere risk fundamentally altering the Arctic ecosystems. Warmer water temperatures might result in invasive species moving north, which would affect local species and ultimately local economies."

I would say f, it's the only answer that isn't followed by facts and it gives the option of Morten Olsen.

Sirens were wailing and everyone was frantic Bella jackson was murdered. It was a bloody scene she was stabbed 15 times and her arms were tied up in a praying position, her hair was shaved off and on her forehead there were letters carved. Like a signature. There were four more murders after that all girls all in a praying position then it stopped until today. A video was released of Maddi Smith tied up “Help me if everyone does not complete these tasks in the next 48 hours fg will continue no one is safe.” Then she looked over and screamed, “Please no!”...madi  stammered trying to say this as quickly as possible “He wants you Sofia, run!”. Then suddenly her head was bashed in and the words appeared “I warned her, now i'm coming. No one's safe”.

Flash forward

“Please no! I didn’t do anything! Why are you doing this'' sofia screamed hysterically. “ Sofia sofia! What's wrong!?” Justice ran up the stairs seeing Sofia laying on the floor crying. “ What’s this?” justice asked pointing to the note in her hand. It read “I see you all the time you're never alone..

The first rock said You  the second one said, and the third one next.  Noone knows what happened to justice and Sofia after that they were just forgotten and never seen or heard from again. The mysterious Fg still left notes and videos of their victims but everyone stopped caring and they were forgotten. Until one day a video was released of Sofia she was laying lifeless, a lifeless corpse of Sofia Dean,  blood everywhere her head was ripped off and her eyeballs ripped out of their sockets. It was a gruesome scene. After death. Justice could not believe what she was seeing. Why would someone so cruel put a video like that with so many details in it. Is the person trying to make a point.

Is this sentece punctauted correctly? i came home late; therefore, i didnt see aunt matildia
Darina [25.2K]
No, the sentence given:
_________________________
"<span>i came home late; therefore, i didnt see aunt matildia" — is NOT punctuated correctly.
____________________________________________
The word: "didnt" should be replaced with: "didn't" (note the added "apostrophe")—or rewritten as two word: "did not". 

Furthermore, there should be a "period" at the end of the sentence.
___________________________
As far as other grammar errors are concerned, the second instance of the use of the personal pronoun, "I"—is incorrectly written in the lower case: "i"—and should be replaced with the capital letter, "I". Furthermore, "</span>aunt matildia" should be rewritten with a capital letter "A" replacing the word: "aunt" [the word: "aunt" should be changed to "Aunt"], and the name: "matildia" should be rewritten with a capital "M" replacing the name: "matildia" [the name "matildia" should be replaced with "Matildia"].  Also, if "Aunt Matildia" is, in fact, really spelled that way, than the spelling of the name should be retained.  On the other hand, if the aunt's name is actually spelled: "Mathilda"—or some variant, then the proper spelling should be used—and the first letter should be capitalized.
