circle the comparative adjective.
underline the superlative adjective.
the greatest percentage
of earths oxygen is
found in solid chemicals,
but there used to be
a higher percentage in
the air millions of
years ago.

Explanation:

• For the first part: "Particles" is plural, so the verb should be "are". "Aranged" is misspelled (correct: "arranged"). "Far a part" should be "far apart".
• For the second part: A comparative adjective shows a comparison between two things (e.g., "higher" - more than one). A superlative adjective shows the highest degree (e.g., "greatest" - the most).

Answer:

• First sentence correction: Particles are arranged close together in solids, and far apart in gases.
• Second sentence: Circle "higher", underline "greatest".
