3. Where does THE dot go?  "The duck was swimming in the pond it flew away due to the people around."

Explanation

The dot should go after "pond" because it indicates the end of a sentence. In this case, the sentence "The duck was swimming in the pond" is complete, and the dot should be placed after "pond" to signify the end of that sentence. The phrase "it flew away due to the people around" is a separate sentence and should be followed by its own dot.
