(8) today this mountain is almost 30,000 feet tall. 7. what change should be made in sentence 2? change response to responce change radiating to radiated change planets to planets change these to them clear all

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: "response" is correct; "responce" is a misspelling, but this isn't the error in sentence 2.
• Option 2: "radiating" is correct as it shows the ongoing action of heat emitting, so changing to "radiated" is wrong.
• Option 3: The core belongs to Earth (one planet), so "planets'" (plural possessive) is incorrect. It should be "planet's" (singular possessive) to show the core of our planet (Earth).
• Option 4: "These" is correct as a demonstrative adjective for "plates"; "Them" is a pronoun and would be incorrect here.

Answer:

C. Change planets' to planet's
