VII. Put all types of questions to the sentence.
The 88 elements occur naturally in the Earth’s crust.
VIII. Read the text.
About 20 elements occur naturally in their native states as minerals. Fewer

silver, platinum, and copper are all mined in their pure forms. Iron is rarely found
in its native state in the Earth’s crust, but metallic iron is common in certain types
of meteorites. Native iron and nickel are thought to comprise most of the Earth’s
core. Native sulfur, used to manufacture sulfuric acid, insecticides, fertilizer, and
rubber, is mined form volcanic craters, where it is deposited from gases
emanating from the vents.
