We are having a debate in our house with some of these. Can someone name each numbered item with its part?
Many different trees grow in (1) North America, and wherever (2) you live, you (3) can see some trees. More than 600 different species (4) of trees range across these United States. Most species are native (5) to this continent, but a few species were brought (6) over from several faraway (7) places. Many trees, such as the common juniper, have widespread habitats (8), and some species like the fox-tail pine are commonly (9) found in (10) just a few remote areas.
To be a tree, a plant must be at least 15 feet tall and have well-developed branches and a single woody stem. Trees have two types of leaves. Cone-bearing (11) evergreen trees have leaves or (12) needles that stay on the (13) branches, while other trees have (14) deciduous leaves that fall off each year.

Can you provide the answers you believe are correct? I can't see that there should be any doubt about most of them. (Please put a space after the parenthesis for the numbers so the system doesn't translate the number into an icon.
