I think i found the paragraph:
There are a few exceptions. In the Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford University sits a battery-powered bell that has been ringing since the year 1840. The bell “rings” so quietly it’s almost inaudible, using only a tiny amount of charge with every motion of the clapper. Nobody knows exactly what kind of batteries it uses because nobody wants to take it apart to figure it out.
Answer choices for the above question
A. The battery-powered bell at Oxford will last forever.
B. Researchers don’t want to risk breaking the battery-powered bell.
C. The author believes there is a light inside the bell.
D. The reverberations of the bell might give off a light charge in extreme darkness.
Answer:
B - Researchers don’t want to risk breaking the battery-powered bell.
The rhyme scheme in the poem is
<span>A. ABAB CDCD
Crocodile (A) rhymes with the third line Nile (A). Second line Tail (B) rhymes iwth fourth line Scale (B). First line in the second stanza Grin (C) rhymes with third line In (C) and second line in the second stanza Claws (D) rhymes with the final line Jaws (D).</span>
The correct answer is option D. A possessive pronoun.
The word <em>"its" </em>consists of the pronoun <em>it</em>, in the case of the sentence, it refers to Miller's pool as an object, and the liner as the property belonging to the pool - the existence of the property demands the addition of the letter "s" to the pronoun "it".
The rest of the options cannot be correct since:
A. <em>its </em>is not a unique element in the sentence. Therefore, it is not capitalized, nor it represents a proper noun.
B. In order for <em>its </em>to be a contraction, an apostrophe must be added - as in <em>"it's". </em>However, in the context of the sentence, <em>its </em>represents the property of an object, rather than a definition of Miller's pool, which would read as "it is liner was torn into two pieces", lacking coherence.
C. The particular or simple form of <em>its</em> is the pronoun <em>"it"</em>, which can't be used to represent property in the sentence.
