Answer 14

^^
Well, "and" isn't a verb. It's a conjunction, meaning that it's used to connect other words in a sentence. In this case, milk isn't a verb either. It's a noun.

Answer 15

milk is something that exists

Answer 16

ok

Answer 17

Contains is a state of being

The liquid is contained

The liquid is free

Answer 18

so D then?

Answer 19

Yup, D would be correct! :)

Answer 20

ok :D

Answer 21

well they don't even get it. @NalaJone A. and would not be correct and is a conjunction. A conjunction is a joiner, a word that connects (conjoins) parts of a sentence. B and C are incorrect because you can't milk can you? If you can't milk then you can't water! so it's D.
