Answer:

What did you do with the<em><u> houseplant's </u></em>I bought yesterday?

Explanation:

Apostrophe is used to show the ownership of the noun, or in other ways, to show the contracted form of the words. So, among the four options given in the question, the sentence that contains an error in its usage of the apostrophe is the first sentence- What did you do with the<em><u> houseplant's </u></em>I bought yesterday? The use of the apostrophe in the word 'houseplant's' is wrong as there is no need for any possessive form. The word 'houseplants' in the sentence rather denotes a plural form of the noun houseplant, not the possessive form of the houseplant. The other sentences' use of the apostrophe are correct, for they all denote the possessive or ownership of the noun or the contracted form of the verbs.

It was obvious that there <em><u>weren't</u></em> any donuts left from the meeting.

<em><u>It's</u></em><em> </em>a good time to reassess our strengths and weaknesses as a company.

The<em><u> janitors' </u></em>brooms need to be replaced as soon as possible.

An apostrophe is used to signify ownership. To figure out whether or not the apostrophe is used correctly look at these examples:

My mom's dog is adorable. Correct Use of apostrophe
(Who owns the dog? Answer: Mom owns the dog. The apostrophe shows her ownership.)

Dog's are so adorable. Incorrect use of apostrophe. (The dog isn't owning anything or has possession of anything so the use of the apostrophe here is incorrect.)

Part A
Kitty [74]

Diversity and equity are qualities to be celebrated is the theme does Whitman develop in poem 16 of “Song of Myself”.  “Stuff’d with the stuff that is coarse and stuff’d with the stuff that is fine,” is the lines from poem 16 best develop the theme in Part A. Hence, option A and D are correct.

<h3>What is the main idea of Song of Myself?</h3>

The three main topics are the poet's engagement with the elements of the natural world and the cosmos, his or her conception of himself or herself, and self-identification with other selves. Homes and spaces represent civilisation, while smells represent our individual selves and our surroundings our communal selves.

But "Song of Myself" has a few problems. The poem's strong depictions of sensuality and eroticism contributed to its rather infamous reputation.

Thus, option A and D are correct.
