It is D because once the heavy dark cloud is rushing in from the horizon it means the storm is coming in

The revision that corrects the sentence is D) Heavy, black clouds rushing in from the horizon mean a storm is coming.

The sentence is incorrect because it is incomplete. "Heavy, black clouds rushing in from the horizon" is only the subject of the sentence; therefore, it must be followed by a verb. "Rushing in from the horizon" is not the predicate of the sentence but a participial phrase working as an adjective modifying the noun "clouds". Therefore, option D) is correct because it is the only one that provides a predicate for the incomplete sentence ("mean a storm is coming"). On the other hand, option A), B) and C) leave the sentence incomplete and add another sentence (in the case of A. and B.) or a subordinate clause instead (introduced by "when" in C.).

When and where did the native Americans first teach the European settlers to grow corn

Hitman42 [59]

Native Americans had grown corn for more than 2000 years. They ate it and used it to brew beer way before the Europeans landed on America on the late 15th century, led by Christopher Columbus.

When the settlers arrived to the West Indies, they were offered corn by the Native American Indians. They learned how to grow it, took seeds back with them and introduced it in Europe.
