Answer:
This is very true. Most people are uneducated or misled by ads and media. This is a global problem
Explanation:
As you know, water evaporates in heat, and tropical places are usually very hot! Tropical implies "ocean" so, when an ocean evaporates it leaves a sandy ocean floor, which is a desert, but there are lake sized "puddles" of salt water left over, which is why there is a big salt water lake in the middle of Utah.
The answer is A. Mercedes threw Andrea, Mercedes' best friend, a surprise party last night. This choice uses an appositive ("Andrea, Mercedes' best friend,") to combine the two sentences. An appositive is a phrase separated from the rest of the sentence by commas that describes something (in this case Andrea).
Choices B and C are incorrect because the uses of the words "but" and "when" to combine the sentences do not make logical sense. Choice D is incorrect because it uses a comma to combine the sentences without a conjunction, creating a run-on sentence.
Hope this helps!
