  • Q #1: Which of the following sentences is written correctly?

    A. The lizard has the ability to alter its coloration to blend in with the foliage.

    B. The lizard has the ability to altar it's coloration to blend in with the foliage.

    C. The lizard has the ability to altar its coloration to blend in with the foliage.

    D. The lizard has the ability to altre its coloration to blend in with the foliage.

    Answer Explanation

    The sentence written correctly is: "The lizard has the ability to alter its coloration to blend in with the foliage." The word "alter" is spelled correctly, and the pronoun "its" is used correctly to show possession. The word "altar" in options B and D is a different word that means a raised platform used for religious or ceremonial purposes, and the word "it's" in option B is a contraction of "it is," which does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
