A. My dog was unable to relocate it’s buried bone.
B. Our old oak tree has dropped all of it’s leaves.
C. The overplayed song has lost its appeal for me.
D. Its been too many weeks since it last rained.
Answer:
The answer is indeed letter C. The overplayed song has lost its appeal for me.
Explanation:
The options provided in the question concern the homophones "it's" and "its." They are commonly mistaken for each other dues to their sounding the same, and are consequently used erroneously. "It's" is the contraction of the subject pronoun "it" and the third-person singular verb "is." For that reason, "it's" is used as the subject of a clause, frequently substituting some previously mentioned noun or referring, for instance, to natural phenomena. The examples below help illustrate it:
- It's snowing again. - natural phenomenon
- My bike is making a weird noise when I try to start it. It's broken, I think. - substituting "my bike"
"Its", on the other hand, is a possessive adjective. It accompanies a noun, modifying it, to establish a relationship of possession between that noun and another one. Study the example below:
- That stray cat is constantly licking its paws. - the paws belong to the cat
Having that in mind, we can tell letter C is the only option that uses the correct homophone, since "its" establishes a relationship of possession between the song and the appeal. The song has an appeal. Its appeal (the song's) has been lost.
Letters A and B use "it's" when they should employ "its", and letter D does the opposite, using "its" when it actually needs the subject+verb "it's".
b. Every soup and salad cost less than five dollars.
c. Each plate and bowl has a spot in the cupboard.
b. a verb, adverb, or adjective
c. an adjective
d. a verb or adverb
Answer:
Light-winged Smoke, Icarian bird,
Melting thy pinions in thy upward flight,
Lark without song, and messenger of dawn,
Circling above the hamlets as thy nest;
Or else, departing dream, and shadowy form
Of midnight vision, gathering up thy skirts;
By night star-veiling, and by day
Darkening the light and blotting out the sun;
Go thou my incense upward from this hearth,
And ask the gods to pardon this clear flame.

Here is an essay on anything! It takes you back to when hunters arrived at California and how the Bering Strait made it possible.
About 12,000 years ago, some hunters arrived in what is now California. Those hunters were descendants, or known as later relatives, of people who had come to North America by land from the continent Asia. These days, you can not make this trip by land today. Asia and North America are now separated by one part of the Pacific Ocean called the Bering Strait. A strait means a narrow passage of water joining two bigger bodies of water. The people who came across the land bridge from Asia hunted giant moose, antelope, and mammoths. They depended on these three animals for food. As these animals roamed from place to place in Asia, the hunters and their families followed them. When some of the animals wandered across the land bridge to North America, some of the hunters moved too. Slowly these hunters made their way southward across North America. For millions of years only animals lived in North America. About 12,000 years ago, some hunters arrived in what is now California. Those hunters were descendants, or also known as later relatives, of people who had come to North America by land from Asia long time ago. Today, you can not make this trip by land. Asia and North America are now separated by a part of the Pacific Ocean called the Bering Strait. A strait is a narrow pathway of water connecting two larger bodies of water. Two million and 12,000 years ago, the Bering Strait did not exist. Instead, plains of grass and land connected the two continents. At this time, people and animals could cross this plain from Asia to North America on their feet. People who went across the land bridge from Asia hunted giant moose, antelope, and mammoths. When the animals wandered across the land bridge to North America, some of the hunters moved there too. Slowly, hunters made their way southward across North America. Soon when they finally reach many different areas of the continent, Among these people were the first Californians. They settled in all of California's regions-in it’s northern mountains, in its river valleys, along the coast, and in dry areas on the southwest.
