Which correction should the student make in the summary: Professor Hugo brought his Space Zoo to Chicago. People were happy and lined up early to see the amazing show of animals from other planets. The professor took a dollar from each person. Two months later, the ship got to Kaan, and the horse-spiders came out of the ship.
