ANSWER: This is a bit hard to explain. All answers were flipped around on quillbot.com so YOU don't get caught!
Flowers, trees, and areas with heaps of grass have vegetation. In the initial statement, the author notes that in wildland vegetation, wildfires burn. The background clues I was given were, "Wildfires will burn and have been doing so for hundreds of millions of years in forests, grasslands, savannas, and other habitats."

12. Write one to two sentences explaining how a dictionary helps readers better understand unfamiliar words.
ANSWER: A dictionary is a book or electronic source full of terms and meanings that when they come across an unfamiliar word, can assist readers in various ways. A list of terms and their meanings, spelling, and synonyms, and antonyms are provided to readers by dictionaries. This will assist readers to improve their vocabulary. Typically, this source goes from A to Z. This illustrates the various ways in which the word can be used, and whether it is a noun or an adjective—etc.

13. Already answered this above. But if for some reason it gets deleted...
ANSWER:
The history of words is etymology. You can use the understanding to work out the meaning of words if you know where a word starts. The comprehension of etymology can help readers learn knowledge about terms that have a certain patter, and correctly spell words. (Using an example from a lesson here to make it a bit longer).
