Word that means adapted for both land and water
D) amphibious
Explanation:
The reason of this etymology of how the word is construed is given in the passage itself.
The word root amphi- means both and –bious means mode of life.
These two roots combine to form the word that is given here and it is pretty clear to see that these two roots combined will mean something along the lines of both modes of life.

So, the meaning of the phrase comes with the word Amphibious.
Answer:
The sentence that is correctly punctuated is the following one: "Let's get going," Ginnie shouted, "it's getting dark!"
Explanation:
The sentence above is a direct quotation. Quotation marks are for when you want to include someone else's words in your own writing. What is more, direct quotations contain a quote in which you report the exact words used.
In this case, the quote has been split. When you split a quote to introduce a parenthetical, you shouldn't capitalize the second part of the quote example: (it's getting dark!"). Also, the exclamation mark goes inside the quote because it applies to the quoted material, not to the whole sentence. For these reasons, the sentence chosen is the one that is correctly punctuated.
