Explanation:

1. Complete the sentence using the correct verb.

The subject "Some cobras" is plural, so we use the base form of the verb "protect".

The sentence "The cobra spits venom for self - defense against predators, not to hunt prey" has two independent clauses ("The cobra spits venom for self - defense against predators" and "not to hunt prey" is a shortened form of "the cobra does not spit venom to hunt prey") joined by a comma, so it is a compound sentence.

The correct spelling of "carefuly" is "carefully" (we add the letter 'l') and the correct spelling of "babie" is "baby" (we remove the 'e' at the end).

Answer:

protect
