To answer the first question, we need to determine which sentence is punctuated correctly. Let's break down each option:
A. "We have been studying the moon and it's phases." - This sentence is incorrect as it should have used "its" (without an apostrophe) since it is possessive.
B. "Your science report is much longer than our's." - This sentence is incorrect because it incorrectly uses an apostrophe in "our's." It should be "ours" without the apostrophe.
C. "Kelly's dog has spots all over its body." - This sentence is punctuated correctly. It correctly uses an apostrophe in "Kelly's" to show possession, and "its" without an apostrophe as a possessive pronoun.
D. "This globe is your's to keep!" - This sentence is incorrect because it incorrectly uses an apostrophe in "your's." It should be "yours" without the apostrophe.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. "Kelly's dog has spots all over its body."
Moving on to the second question, which has two parts:
Part A: The question asks what the author's explanation about travelers using stars shows about stars. We need to understand the main idea conveyed by the author. Let's look at the options:
A. "They are pretty to watch at night." - This option is unlikely because it focuses on the aesthetic aspect rather than practical use.
B. "They can show people where to go." - This option seems more logical as it relates to using stars as navigation tools.
C. "They are the subject of many stories." - This option is not directly linked to the information given about travelers using stars.
D. "They can be seen only a few times a year." - This option is not supported by the information provided.
Therefore, the correct answer for Part A is B. "They can show people where to go."
Moving on to Part B: We need to find the sentence from the article that best explains how stars helped travelers. Let's analyze the options:
A. "People have always been guided by the stars." - This sentence provides a general statement but does not specify how stars helped travelers specifically.
B. "Farmers used the stars to decide when to plant or harvest crops." - While this sentence shows a practical use of stars, it does not directly relate to travelers.
C. "Stars guided people long before maps or computers." - This sentence directly explains how stars helped travelers by providing guidance before the use of maps or computers.
D. "Long ago, people noticed that stars form patterns in the sky." - This sentence provides general information but does not specifically relate to travelers.
Therefore, the correct answer for Part B is C. "Stars guided people long before maps or computers."
For the third question, "nvm" is not a question or a request for explanation, so it doesn't require an answer.
