Answer: He found a rock, and the crystals inside are minerals.

Options:

  • He found a rock, and the crystals inside are minerals.
  • He found a mineral, and the crystals inside are rocks.
  • He found a rock, and the crystals inside are rocks, too.
  • He found a mineral, and the crystals inside are made of dirt.

Explanation:

A rock differs from a mineral. While they are both solid, a mineral has a crystalline structure while a rock does not have a specific structure. Rocks are made up of different mineral structures and that is what Joseph discovered on dropping the rock, one of the component minerals in the rock. For example, a type of rock, slate may consist of feldspar, quartz among many other minerals.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

In the above-given question,

Option (B) is wrong with it's usage of the modifier "how'' in the sentence. If the modifier is used in one place (how heat from the inner core flows), it should also be used in the continuing clause (how the formation and periodic reversal).

Options (C) and (D) are wrong in using the word "are" for the whole sentence as there is no need to use this word. The verb form will depend on the subject, in this case, is "the discovery that earth's inner core" which is singular in nature. Thus, the verb form will be -is and not -are.

Option (E) is wrong for it's use of the comma. If the comma is used, then the whole sentence is not a full-fledged sentence but rather a dependent clause with no resolution.

The correct answer for the given passage is option (A).
