An apostrophe used as a contraction replaces a letter such as 'can't' the apostrophe replaces the 'o' in 'not' another common example would be 'it's' as in 'it is'. The apostrophe replaces the 'i' in 'is'.
 To show possession take the noun and add an apostrophe and an 's' such as 'Mrs. Noble's friend' The apostrophe and the 's' show possession. If the noun is plural or already ends in an 's' do not put an 's' again. For example 'the birds' tree is lovely' Birds as in many birds if it was one bird it would be 'the bird's tree is lovely'
Hope this helps! good luck :)

What resulted from the emergence of the Soviet Union and the United States
fredd [130]

US and the USSR emerged as the two greatest powers for two reasons. Firstly, they had plenty of recourses and manpower, and the industry to use them. Both the US and the USSR had lots of factories, so they could turn their iron, coal, steel, and oil into goods. They could also use these resources to rebuild their Nations, although in the case of the US this was not necessary. This bring me to my second point, they were the only ones left. The British were bankrupt and London was in ruins, at the same time their colonies were diserting them, France was bankrupt as well, and was also losing its colonies. In addition France never had the industry or population of even Britian. Germany was being occupied, so that gets them out of the picture. China was in the middle of a civil war, and did not have very much industry. Japan was in ruins, and was occupied. I would add that despite its problems Japan was able to become a powerhouse. There are other reasons, but it would take to long to write

Maggie is a member of her school’s environmental club and is interested in recycling. She asks the question, “How does exposure
jeka94
Maggie's question, <span>“How does exposure to the environment affect recyclable plastics?” implies that recyclable plastics are an important resource being affected by environmental exposure. Since recyclable plastics were developed with environmental affects in mind, a better scientific question would swap "the environment" with "recyclable plastics" to ask "How do recyclable plastics affect the environment?"</span>

Answer:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you to express my delight with the excellent service and high quality of food that your restaurant provided us last Sunday, on the occasion of my 30th birthday.

We were a party of fifteen, which include my family, close friends and colleagues from work. Your staff went out of their way to provide seating arrangements that were easily accessible and did not interfere with other diners. I find that this is unusual in many restaurants these days. The waiters were extremely professional and polite and were obviously experienced as they did not encroach too much on the proceeding.

Your current menu offers a great deal of choice, as does your wine list, and everything was available. We were very satisfied with the quality or quantity of the dishes served, and the presentation of each dish was akin to the dishes produced in shows such as 'Master Chef'.

I ordered the rack or mutton ribs, which was deliciously succulent and, if anything, maybe slightly too large. Nevertheless, we managed to finish it. I was similarly impressed with the variety of local and international wines you served. The wine that was ordered arrived at the correct temperature that each wine should be consumed. The waiters were familiar with the etiquette, and the service was paramount.

All in all, our group enjoyed a delicious meal at your establishment, and I had a very happy birthday.

Congratulations once again.

Yours faithfully,

Sharon DMello
