Let's look at the passage and correct the grammar step by step:
Original: "To stand the scorching heat, the camel stores water in its hump, the elephant flaps its ears, and the jerboa hides in a burrow. Amid the ice and snow, the Arctic fox stays warm The Arctic fox has thick fur, and the walrus has a thick layer of blubber to keep warm in the extreme cold."
Corrections:
- First, the phrase "To stand the scorching heat" is better as "To withstand the scorching heat" or "To survive the scorching heat."
- The first sentence is a bit long and would be clearer with a conjunction or semicolon: "the camel stores water in its hump, the elephant flaps its ears, and the jerboa hides in a burrow." This is correct but could be split if needed.
- In the second sentence, there's a missing period after "stays warm." It should be two sentences: "Amid the ice and snow, the Arctic fox stays warm. The Arctic fox has thick fur, and the walrus has a thick layer of blubber to keep warm in the extreme cold."
- Alternatively, to avoid repeating "the Arctic fox," you could say: "Amid the ice and snow, the Arctic fox stays warm because it has thick fur. The walrus has a thick layer of blubber to keep warm in the extreme cold."
Here is a corrected and improved version:
To withstand the scorching heat, the camel stores water in its hump, the elephant flaps its ears, and the jerboa hides in a burrow. Amid the ice and snow, the Arctic fox stays warm because it has thick fur. The walrus has a thick layer of blubber to keep warm in the extreme cold.
