Correct Answer: Earths temperature would


Solution : The first option is correct.

The error in the original sentence lies in the incorrect use of the word earths . It lacks the apostrophe (') , which is needed to indicate possession or ownership. When referring to something that belongs to or is associated with Earth, the correct form to use is Earth's .

In the corrected version the apostrophe ( 's ) shows possession, indicating that the temperature is associated with Earth.

Therefore, the corrected sentence would be, "Without the greenhouse effect, Earth's temperature would be below freezing".
