Answer 1

Answer:

1. China is a huge country in eastern Asia.
2. In China, one can find deserts, high mountains, and rich farmlands.

Explanation:

Verbs are words that describe actions. However, actions aren't always as obvious as kicking or running.

For example, a very common verb in the English language is “be”. The word “be” means “to possess a quality or fulfill a role.” The word “is” is a form of the word “be” used when the subject is a singular noun in the third person. Therefore, the verb used in the first sentence is “China is a huge country in eastern Asia.”

For the second sentence, the next verb is easy to locate: “find”. However, the reason I underlined “can find” is because “can” is also a verb; it means “to be able to”. So the answer to the second sentence is “In China, one can find deserts, high mountains, and rich farmlands.”
