Answer:
Astronomers are telling people to be especially watchful this evening, as a rare event could be making a very special appearance. The release of energised <u>particles</u> from the sun, coupled with particularly helpful overnight conditions, is predicted to make the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) visible much further south than normal. Interviewed earlier today by Chris Ross, Channel Six's science correspondent, Derwent University's Professor Andrew Higgins told her that, "it's a once-in-a-decade opportunity that people really shouldn't miss. Thanks to several fronts of high air pressure, the skies tonight will be particularly clear. I'll be over the moon come the dawn."
Explanation:
The apostrophe has two basic functions:
- to express possession, for example, <em>dog's, man's; dogs', men's</em>, etc.;
- to indicate that letters have been removed to form a contraction: <em>he'll (= he will), mustn't (= must not),</em> etc.
The highlighted word<em> particles' </em>is incorrect because an apostrophe is not needed there. Possession is already expressed there by the use of a preposition <em>of.</em>
The words <em>Six's</em> and <em>University's</em> are examples of the apostrophe's first function.
The words <em>it's, shouldn't, </em>and <em>I'll</em> are contractions (<em>it is, should not, </em>and<em> I will</em>).
Answer:
I think u can remove 'plain' from the sentence and it still be the same
Answer:
Add what article, book, or site the quote comes from
Explanation:
The given sentence can be revised by adding what article, book, or site the quote comes from.
A hyphen after the word <em>writes </em>isn't necessary because all necessary quotation marks are already used. The quote is preceded by a comma and framed with quotation marks, which is correct. This is why the first and last options are incorrect.
The second option is incorrect because analysis would require you to write more sentences, and all you need to do is revise the given one. That leaves us with the third option as the correct one.
