1960s is incorrect it needs a comma
I think you mean apostrophe (not comma), right?
Also, I have never seen this in reference to any play: "Act 3, 2 of the play" -- not anywhere. I have no idea what that means.

To determine the correct expression of numbers in a series, we need to identify which option follows the standard format of using numerals for numbers.
In option 1, "twelve dogs, eleven cats, and 1 mouse," the numbers are written out in words, which is incorrect.
In option 2, "3 apples, 23 lemon, and one fig," the number 3 is written as a numeral, but the number 23 and "one" are written out in words, which is also incorrect.
In option 3, "one car, two trucks, and a bus," all the numbers are written as words, so this is incorrect as well.
In option 4, "ten adults, 2 teenagers, and a baby," the number 10 is written as a numeral and the number 2 is also written as a numeral, which follows the correct format. Therefore, the correct expression of numbers in a series is "ten adults, 2 teenagers, and a baby."
Now let's move on to the next question.
To determine which option is correct for question 16, we need to identify the correct format for expressing a specific time period or year.
In option 1, "the 80's," the apostrophe is used to indicate a decade, so this is correct.
In option 2, "1995 A.D.," the year is written as a numeral followed by "A.D.," which is the correct format for specifying a particular year.
In option 3, "the years 71-72," the numbers are written out in words, which is incorrect.
In option 4, "1977-1978," the years are written as numerals separated by a hyphen, which is the standard format for expressing a range of years. Therefore, this option is correct.
Now let's move on to the final question.
To determine which option is incorrect for question 17, we need to identify any inconsistencies or errors in the provided expressions.
In option 1, "Ch. 5," the abbreviation "Ch." is commonly used to refer to a chapter, so this is correct.
In option 2, "Act 3, 2 of the play," the format seems to indicate Act 3, Scene 2 of a play, so this is correct.
In option 3, "1960s," the decade is generally expressed without an apostrophe, so this option is correct.
In option 4, "page 30," the number is written as a numeral and is commonly used to refer to a specific page, so this option is correct as well.
Based on the analysis, all the options provided in question 17 are correct, so none of them are incorrect.
The final answers would be:
15. one car, two trucks, and a bus
16. 1977-1978
17. None of the options are incorrect.
