2) ones are used as pronouns to refer to wonders. ones refer to plural nouns, similar and different things. Such as: These pictures are more colorful than those ones.

2. Hm, I’ve never seen it, so I’m not sure I agree with you.

1) The coordinating conjunction so connects two clauses and expresses a cause-and-effect relationship. For example: The work has been finished, so you needn’t come.

I’m not sure you are right.

3. They’re about 1,700 meters wide and 100 meters high.
