Explanation:

• Homophone Sentences:
• "Several kinds of roe are used in sushi." (roe is fish eggs, fits the context of sushi ingredients)
• "Can we row to the spawning site?" (row means to paddle a boat, makes sense for getting to a site)
• "Salmon roe comes in shades of orange." (again, roe as fish eggs relates to salmon's eggs color)
• Plural Nouns and Adjectives:
• Plural nouns: bears, wolves, eagles, salmon (salmon can be plural in some contexts), predators, orca (though orca is usually singular in form but can be considered in a group sense here), seal (if considered in a plural - like group of seals idea, but more accurately, the first three are clear plurals and maybe "predators" as a plural category).
• Adjectives: tasty, seasonal, marine, most (describe nouns like treats, predators, times)
• Compound Sentence:
• The compound sentence is "The 1,000 - 17,000 eggs a salmon lays are a nutrient - rich food source, so oftentimes less than 15% make it to hatching." The comma is added before "so" (the coordinating conjunction which is circled)
• Interjections and Direct Addresses:
• Interjections: "Woah!", "Hmm..." (express emotions/thoughts)
• Direct addresses: "Dad", "little man" (refer to the person being spoken to)
• Pun:
• The first statement "Even salmon that avoid being eaten are often left with no friends, because they become unbearable!" has a pun. "Unbearable" plays on "un - bear - able" (not bearable, but also a play on "bear" as in the animal, since earlier there were bears mentioned as predators of salmon)

Answer:

• Homophone sentences: "Several kinds of roe are used in sushi."; "Can we row to the spawning site?"; "Salmon roe comes in shades of orange."
• Plural nouns: bears, wolves, eagles, predators (and potentially salmon in context); Adjectives: tasty, seasonal, marine, most
• Compound sentence: "The 1,000 - 17,000 eggs a salmon lays are a nutrient - rich food source, so oftentimes less than 15% make it to hatching." (comma before "so", "so" is circled)
• Interjections: "Woah!", "Hmm..."; Direct addresses: "Dad", "little man"
• Pun: Check the box for "Even salmon that avoid being eaten are often left with no friends, because they become unbearable!" and circle "unbearable"
