I. Underline the verbs in the paragraph. (8)

During the 21st century, there are 85 total lunar eclipses; a specific geographical location
on the surface of the Earth will be able to see an average 40 to 45 total lunar eclipses or about one
about every 2.3 years. Contrast this to a total eclipse of the sun, which, as seen from a specific
geographic location occurs on an average of once every 375 years. The reason for the large
disparity is simple.
In order to see a total eclipse of the sun, you must be fortuitously positioned along the
path of the moon’s dark shadow (the umbra) which might extend for many thousands of miles. In
contrast, the region of visibility for a total lunar eclipse extends to more than half of the Earth
allowing billions to partake in the lunar show.
