Answer 1

Climatic change (a) is one of the hotly contested debates. India and Antarctica (b) were once part of the same landmass. To visit Antarctica now (c) is to be a part of history. 90 percent of the Earth’s total ice volumes (d) are stored there, Antarctica (e) with her simple ecosystem. Therefore to study the earth, Antarctica (f) is the place to go. Antarctica (g) is devoid of any human markets. It (h) has no trees, buildings, or billboards.​

Explanation:

• Helping verbs are used to connect the words in a sentence.

• In the present tense "is" and "are" are used to connect to the nouns in the sentence.

• "is" is used for singular nouns and "are" is used for plural nouns.

• Whereas, in the past tense, "was" and "were" are used instead of "is" and "are".

• "was" is used for singular nouns and "were" is used for plural nouns.

• Has is used for the third singular person.
