Question

1. the earth ____ on its orbit while it also ____ around the sun.

revolves, spins
orbit, revolves
rotates, revolves
gratitates, elevates

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall astronomical terms: Earth rotates (spins) on its axis (axis - related spin) and revolves (orbits) around the Sun (path around another body). Let's analyze options:

• "Revolves, spins": Revolve is for movement around another body, spin is for axis - based. So first should be spin/rotate, second revolve. Eliminate.
• "Orbit, revolves": "Orbit" is a noun or verb (but subject - verb agreement: Earth is singular, "orbit" as verb would be "orbits"). Eliminate.
• "Rotates, revolves": Matches the definitions (rotate on axis, revolve around Sun).
• "Gratitates, elevates": These are not astronomical motion terms. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. Rotates, revolves (assuming the third option is labeled C; if original labels were different, adjust. But based on the marked option in the image, the correct one is the option with "Rotates, revolves")
