Answer:
The Sahara desert is one of the harshest, most inhospitable places on the planet, covering much of North Africa in some 3.6 million square miles of rock and windswept dunes. But it wasn't always so desolate and parched. Primitive rock paintings and fossils excavated from the region suggest that the Sahara was once a relatively verdant oasis, where human settlements and a diversity of plants and animals thrived.
Now researchers at MIT have analyzed dust deposited off the coast of west Africa over the last 240,000 years, and found that the Sahara, and North Africa in general, has swung between wet and dry climates every 20,000 years. They say that this climatic pendulum is mainly driven by changes to the Earth's axis as the planet orbits the sun, which in turn affect the distribution of sunlight between seasons—every 20,000 years, the Earth swings from more sunlight in summer to less, and back again.

The book on the table belongs to me. Here, the prepositional phrase "on the table" modifies book. Because book is a noun, that makes "on the table" an adjective phrase.
Did you drive to the grocery store today? Here, "to the grocery store" modifies drive. Because drive is a verb, that makes "to the grocery store" an adverb phrase.
Ms. Reyes, my English teacher, is fluent in Spanish and French. Here, "my English teacher," modifies Ms. Reyes, which is a noun. Because this phrase is telling us more information about the noun that is immediately beside it, it is an appositive phrase.
The title of "Of Mice and Men" comes from Burns' poem. In his poem, Burns says that the best-laid plans of mice and men often go wrong. This theme is exemplified in Steinbeck's novel through the plans George and Lenny make.
Throughout the novel, George and Lenny plan to save their money and buy a farm. Lenny is particularly looking forward to having rabbits of his own. They spend a lot of time discussing the farm and the freedom they will soon have. These plans are, as Burns would say, "best-laid," or well planned.
Of course, as Burns' poem says, these plans go wrong. Lenny accidentally kills Curley's wife and must run away. As a result, Lenny dies and George knows in his heart he will never have the farm that he and Lenny had dreamed of for so long. He knows he will spend his money drinking like the other men and trying to forget his troubles.
And so, the best-laid plans of George and Lenny surely went wrong.
The word and the punctuation that best corrects any errors in the sentence is option C. bag, but. A comma should be placed after the word bag because another clause is introduced by the coordinating conjunction "but". So the correct sentence should be, "She packed six shirts, three pairs of jeans, pajamas, and a cosmetics bag, but the key to the suitcase was left behind on her desk."
