Answer:
While lying on the dirt the author realized that the lovely blue sky is actually not blue and she could feel the hard and emphatic presence of the earth coming upon her.
Explanation:
In her essay titled "Against Nature", Joyce Carol Oates writes about why she thinks that nature should not be a topic of writing. She begins with reciting her experience when she had a tachycardia attack while she was jogging. She recalled that she was lying on the ground, she lies limp in the dirt and tried to focus on nature to remain calm at that time.
As she was lying down on the ground she could feel the earth's presence hard and emphatic upon herself. She could feel that the earth was shifting forward. And she noticed that the sky, the lovely blue sky, which was rolling away forever in infinity, was not blue.
It is C. Compound sentence. This is because it is far from simple, and even thought it might seem as a run on sentence, it is not, as run on sentences are sentences connected with a comma, yet this one is connected with a semi-colon, which is a correct way of connecting sentences.
The correct answer is A.
The sentence should be written like this: <span>Sadly, even after that water is found, only some of it's clean and safe enough to drink.
Because the sentence is saying "only some of IT IS clean and safe enough to drink," an apostrophe should be used.
</span>
