A. No change <-- This one!

B. The dogs coat was matted, yet he looked very clean.
We need an apostrophe to show the coat belongs to the dog.

C. The dogs' coat was matted, yet he looked very clean.
The apostrophe after the s in dogs is saying that there are multiple dogs, but the sentence is saying "yet he looked", so "he" means there is one dog.

D. The dog's coat was matted; yet he looked very clean.
Semicolons are used to link two independent clauses that are related to each other, but "yet he looked very clean" is not an independent clause, so we just need a comma.

Answer:

While Ms. Muñez has an impressive track record as a large business owner, we feel that she lacks the public service experience needed to serve as mayor of Brookside.

Explanation:

This statement, unlike the other three, does not express a fact, but instead shares the opinion of the columnist or possible the journal. Ms. Muñez may or may not have the public service that are necessary to serve as mayor of Brookside, but this capacity would need to be determined by an official source and by validated studies instead of the opinion of a journal writer.

A) near warm water

The warm water warms the air above it.

Eventually it creates the hurricane.
