Answer:
At this very moment, the International Space Station orbits Earth at a distance of 240 miles.
Explanation:
We use the simple present tense when we talk about actions that happen often, habitual actions, or truths that usually do not change or that take some time to change. For example: I sleep at 10 in the evening. / Dogs bark and birds fly. / Dora lives in Spain.
Therefore, since the orbit of the International Space Station is a truth that will most likely take long to change, it seems best to use the simple present to complete the sentence. Since the subject is third-person singular, we must add -s to the verb:
- At this very moment, the International Space Station orbits Earth at a distance of 240 miles.
Note: Another possibility would be the use of the present continuous: "is orbiting". However, that makes it seem this is just a temporary action that will, at any moment, change.

Explanation:
Anne describes herself early in the diary as somewhat superficial. She says that she has few true friends because she cannot bring herself to talk about serious things with any of them. This, in fact, is why she says she's keeping the diary. She acknowledges that she sometimes talks too much, recording early in the diary that she had to do a writing assignment on being a "chatterbox."
