Explanation:

The passage lists warning signs of skin cancer. A sore that doesn't heal is a sign (spot or sore that continues to itch or bleed implies non - healing sores are bad). A mole that changes color is listed (mole, birthmark...that changes color). A mole with an irregular outline is also a listed warning sign. A painful sunburn is not mentioned as a skin cancer warning sign. A large birthmark alone (without mention of change) is not a listed warning sign.

a sore that does not heal, a mole that changes color, a mole with an irregular outline
