Dear editor.
I believe that you, like me, are aware of the environmental impact that the waste produced in our homes causes, especially the waste from industrialized products such as plastic, metals, glass, among others. This environmental impact is what causes the importance of waste segregation, because it allows these materials not to be thrown away, but to be separated to participate in recycling processes, becoming new products and reducing the environmental impact.
However, despite this importance, I have noticed that many neighborhoods, including mine, have not accepted this position and have thrown all kinds of garbage in a single deposit. This prevents recycling, since the mixed products are simply thrown into nature, without any care.
I believe that these neighborhoods know the importance of waste segregation, but as they have no type of inspection or punishment, they do not obey this rule.
For this reason, I write to you, with the hope that you will disseminate this message and reinforce the need for inspection so that the segregation of garbage is carried out.
graciously

The correct answer is B: That lizard's eyes were small and shiny. All other options are wrong because the noun was turned into its plural form "lizards," which can't be used with the singular adjective "that." In addition, option C lacks a possessive form and option D includes an "s" after the apostrophe, which should not be used with nouns ending in s.
Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad is an interesting and well-written book that tells the story of an extraordinarily courageous and committed woman. Tubman continues to inspire those seeking dignity for all people in America. Petry's dramatization of Tubman's perseverance and sense of purpose in leading slaves to freedom shows how a motivated individual can bring about change.
Petry intends for Harriet Tubman to fill a void in an important part of United States history and asserts that "the majority of textbooks used in high schools do not give an adequate or accurate picture of the history of slavery in the United States." A completely adequate and accurate account of slavery would no doubt require many volumes, yet this biographical novel represents significant movement toward that ideal. It juxtaposes well-known historical information with details about Tubman's "underground" activities. This technique adds depth and relevance to the story of Tubman's achievements.
