It would actually be "The animals on our farm wake up at 5am." but you are none the less correct. Now which one of the other sentences seem off to you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Check the verbs of each sentence. That's what the question is asking.

OpenStudy (queenrae99):

Well then let's start with A alright?

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

The verb in B was "wakes" but it is supposed to be "wake".

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Look at A. What is the verb here?

OpenStudy (queenrae99):

There is a word in a describing when the trees were on fire. What word is it?
