Which of the following sentences uses apostrophes correctly?

English

An apostrophe is used when you want to do one of the following: show possession, when changing a single noun to its plural form and when you are using contractions, or contracted words, like it and is. In this particular case, we have two cases in which we need to use apostrophes. The first is the use of the last name of two subjects. This last name is, in its singular form, Smith, but because we are talking about more than one (plural), we need to change the singular word into its plural form. To do this, we add the apostrophe after the H and add an s. This shows the plural form. Also, we have a contracted word, it and is. The correct way to show the contraction is by using an apostrophe between the original word (it) and to signify the presence of is adjoined to it, we add an apostrophe and we add the "s" after it. This is why the correct answer is A.

Read Proposed Treatment To Fix Genetic Diseases Raises Ethical Issues by Rob Stein

What advice did doctors give Lori Martin?

A

She should be tested for Leigh's syndrome because

her child was born with it.

B

She should not have any more biological children

because she is a carrier of Leigh's Syndrome.

С

It is okay for her to have more children because they

are unlikely to develop the syndrome.

D

She should have a child with a different partner

because they would have different genes.

Answer: B. She should not have any more biological children  because she is a carrier of Leigh's Syndrome

Explanation:

Lori Martin is a 33 years old woman from Houston. After discovering her son had been born with Leigh's syndrome, she was advised by her doctors not to have any more children because, given that she´s a carrier of said disease, the same would happen to any embryo she could produce.  

Stein brings up Martin´s case as an example of someone who could benefit from a new technique that allows the removal of unwanted DNA from an embryo.

What does Vallowe mean by saying that “My obsession with being “the” writer stems from my understanding of what it means to be “
Arisa [49]

Explanation:

''My childhood was marked by a belief in many abstract absolutes that I am only now allowing to crumble''

''In kindergarten I wrote about thirty books. They were each

about five pages long, with one sentence and a picture on each

page. They were held together with three staples on the left side or

top and had construction paper covers with the book’s title and the

phrase “By Emily Vallowe” written out in neat kindergarten-teacher

handwriting. My mom still has all of these books in a box at the

bottom of her closet.''

Emily is explaining to readers why is she thinking like that and why does she have that opinion and point of view. Her obsession started when she was a young girl. In the paragraph she is talking about the identity, is she identity wrong or good.  

  • ''I have wanted to be a writer my entire life -- or at least that’s  what I tell people. Looking back, I don’t know if I ever wanted to be  a writer. ''

She had that wrong identity because she was marked by the teacher and her mother like a writer.

What does it mean to digest something
