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.)

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

A. Alisha was angry with her brother for criticizing her

Explanation:

This question is about the text "After the Fire", where we learn that Alisha's house has been completely destroyed by fire, requiring her parents to build a new home. Alishia was happy to have a different house and asked her parents to have a room just for her and it was not necessary to share it with her sister. Entretnaot, Alishia's older brother, criticized her for making demands on parents who already had enough concerns, instead of being grateful for the privilege of having a new home. Alishia did not like his brother's criticism and said that he thinks that way because he never had to share a room with anyone.

I need to write about the target audience for a disney theme park including ideologies
irina1246 [14]
Disney does not target any one area, age group or population. They use what is called market segmentation. In fact, it is really geographic segmentation, demographic segmentation and psychographic segmentation to find their target market. The geographic segmentation refers to a region of the country or the world, market size, market density, or market climate. Disney places their theme parks in the most visited places - Japan, Europe, India and the US. The demographic segmentation refers to age, gender, income, family life cycle and ethnic background. They use this to help them decide where they should locate their Disney stores, what movies to show and even what show to make next. The psychographic segmentation is about personalities, lifestyles and geodemographics. This study helps them predict who is going to buy their products.

Disney also uses multi-segment targeting strategy. which is when a company uses 2 or more well-defined marketing segments. Disney interests everyone from the young to the old so they provide something for everyone. Using the idea of family they know they will need something that everyone likes to make it a "memory" as they advertise.
