Please help!! Which sentence does not contain any errors? A. Let's each try a bite of Wendys' vegetable dish. B. Whose red socks
mojhsa [17]
A is wrong because "Wendys'" should be "Wendy's", because the possessive isn't plural.

C is wrong because "Its" should be "It's", because "It's" is a contraction for "It is."

D is wrong because the apostrophe should be after "judges", not "statements." Statements do not own anything, but the judges own the statements.

B is the correct answer.
