Re: Caribou are wary animals

Hi, Ron!!!
I got a question about the difference between the "one" and "ones."
Can "one" be plural? If not, why "one" is correct in the key B.

Thanks in advance!

Re: On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are

Hey, Ron!

what kind of role does "As" play here?? Why there is no subject in the "as" phrase?
Can u give me a similar example about "As", as this question does?
"as seen in the rings visible in the cross sections of their trunks."

Muchas Gracias!

Can anyone help to explain this question? Thanks in advance!
