Solución

To determine the correct choice that completes the text while conforming to the conventions of Standard English, we need to analyze the punctuation and the relationship between the two clauses.
The sentence states that “About 70,000 meteorites have been found on Earth. Although mlgt meteorites are fragments of hundred have been identified as being from the Moon or Mars.” The phrase “Although mlgt meteorites are fragments of” seems to be incomplete, but we can focus on the part that mentions “asteroids” and the subsequent clause.
  1. Choice (A) asteroids: several - This uses a colon, which is typically used to introduce a list or explanation. However, it doesn’t fit well here since “several” is not a list or explanation of “asteroids.”
  2. Choice (B) asteroids; several - This uses a semicolon, which is appropriate for connecting two independent clauses. However, “several” does not form a complete independent clause, making this choice incorrect.
  3. Choice © asteroids, several - This uses a comma, which suggests that “several” is providing additional information about “asteroids.” This choice is grammatically correct and maintains the flow of the sentence.
  4. Choice (D) asteroids. Several - This uses a period, which separates the two ideas into distinct sentences. While this is grammatically correct, it disrupts the flow of the text.
Given this analysis, the best choice that conforms to the conventions of Standard English is:
© asteroids, several.

Bonus Knowledge

While many meteorites are fragments of asteroids, several have been identified as being from the Moon or Mars. Meteorites offer incredible insight into the formation of our solar system and can tell us a story billions of years old! Those intriguing pieces of rock help scientists understand planetary evolution, and they serve as a direct link to the other celestial bodies inhabiting our cosmic neighborhood.
If you’re keen on spotting meteorites, there are a few common pitfalls to avoid! First, don’t assume every neat rock is a meteorite; they have unique characteristics like a fusion crust and metallic content. Secondly, check your local regulations about collecting meteorites. Some areas, especially protected sites or national parks, have strict rules against taking them! Happy hunting!

(1) Adulthood in the latter half of the twentieth century was often marked by the milestones of completing school, leaving home, becoming financially independent, marrying, and having a child. (2) These milestones now occur later in life for many people. (3) Many people are postponing marriage and parenthood, and pursuing more education than in the past, delaying the completion of their schooling. (4) Due to a weak economy, more young people are still living at home with a parent or parents today than was the case a half-century ago, changing family structures. (5) Between 1960 and 2010, the proportion of 18-24 year olds who lived at home (including students attending college) increased by 22 percent (from 43.6 percent to 53.3 percent), whereas the proportion of 25 -34 year olds who lived at home increased by 47 percent (from 9.1 percent to 13.4 percent) (U.S. Census Bureau 2011b).

Although single-eamer married families still make up a sizable minority of families, the proportion of two-earner couples has increased considerably in recent decades. As more U.S. women have worked outside the home, the division of responsibility for work and family has changed in three ways: (1) U.S. husbands are taking increased responsibility for maintaining the home; (2) U.S. women are taking increased responsibility for breadwinning; (3) U.S. men are showing greater interest in their families and parenting. Source: Santrock. Essentiols of Life-Spon Development, 3e. Is the following paragraph a summary or a paraphrase of the reading selection? Santrock explains that more and more American households are supported by two working adults. Because more women have jobs now than in the past, famillies have changed the way the handle household work. Men are taking more responsibility for housework and parenting, and women are taking more responsibility for earning money. Summary, because the paragraph uses different sentence structures than the original. O Summary, because the paragraph is a brief restatement of the original. O Paraphrase, because the paragraph focuses on main ideas.

Choose the sentence in this excerpt that best summarizes the purpose of the U.S. Treasury. The Treasury prints the paper money we use every day through its child agency, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. It mints the coins jangling in our pockets through another child agency, the United States Mint. The Treasury collects all duties and taxes, and enforces tax policy through the Internal Revenue Service, as well as managing government bonds and other debt instruments. In short, the Treasury's charter is to collect the government's money, pay the government's bills, and balance the nation's checkbook.

Based on context clues in this paragraph, sparse most nearly means _The farmer's diet was a sparse one, based on drinking beer and eating bread, a few vegetables, and some protein in the form of fish and eggs. The noble dief was almost limitless: fancy fruits, deer, duck, cheese, butter, and honey. Nobles, however, might for religious reasons avoid eating pork and fish. The priests, who offered up banquets of rich food and drink to the gods three times a day, ate the unconsumed food and ended up with blocked arteries, high blood pressure, and premature heart attacks. So say their mummified remains. Source: Paul Edward Dutton, et al.
