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 :)

Which genre uses dramatic elements to depict the flaws in human nature in a succinct, poignant way?
saw5 [17]

I believe that the best answer to this question would be a tragedy. However, there may be more than one genre that accomplishes this goal. A tragedy is, specifically, a form of drama. It, "treats in a serious and dignified style the sorrowful or terrible events encountered or caused by a heroic individual" (this is the definition given in Encyclopedia Britannica.) A tragedy most definitely depicts the flaws in human nature.

Now that you’ve read Susan B. Anthony’s “On Women's Right to Vote,” write a personal reflection about the speech. Use what you’v
Lyrx [107]

<span>In November 1872, Anthony voted in the presidential election. Two weeks later, she was arrested. After her indictment, Anthony gave her famous On Womens Right to Vote speech. In the speech, Anthony invoked the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, pointing out that it addresses We, the people, and not We, the male citizens. She argued that those countries that denied women the right to vote were oligarchies. At the end, she challenged her detractors to answer this question: Are women persons?</span>

During her trial, Anthony was unable to testify on her behalf, since womens testimony was not considered to be competent. Instead, her lawyer presented her arguments. She was convicted of casting an illegal vote and fined $100. Anthony refused to pay the fine, stating, May it please your honor, I will never pay a dollar of your unjust penalty. Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.
