1.) Taste buds are onion shaped structures with between 50 and 100 taste cells, each of them has fingerlike projections poking through the opening located at the top of the taste bud called the taste pore.

A)them has fingerlike projections poking through the opening located at the top of the taste bud called the taste pore
B)them that have fingerlike projections that poke through an opening located at the top of the taste bud, which they call taste pore
C)which has fingerlike projections poking through the opening, called the taste pore, located at the top of the taste bud
D)which having fingerlike projections that poke through an opening, which is called the taste pore, located at the top of the taste bud
E)which have fingerlike projections that are poking through an opening located at the top of the taste bud called taste pore



2.) Although ice particles in the upper atmosphere benefit Earth in that they reflect and absorb solar radiation, acting as global thermostat and thus keeping Earth from either burning up or freezing over, they also accelerate the destruction of the ozone layer by reacting with chloroflurocarbons (CFC's).

A) acting as global thermostat and thus keeping Earth from either burning up or freezing over, they also accelerate
B)acting as a global thermostat and thus keeping Earth either from burning up or freezing over, while also accelerating
C)act as a global thermostat and thus keep Earth from either burning up or freezing over, while also accelerating
D)they act as a global thermostat that thus keeps the Earth either from burning up or freezing over, even though it also accelerates
E)they act as a global thermostat to thus keep Earth from either burning up or freezing over, but they also accelerate

Please explain your answers

"them" in A has an unclear antecedent: cells? buds? structures???

A

In Q1 choice A is wrong because
1.in the bold part (shown below) it seems that taste buds are called taste pores.
2. "them" has no clear antecedent

them has fingerlike projections poking through the opening located at the top of the taste bud called the taste pore
