Answer:

A.

Explanation:

A singular possessive noun is created by adding apostrophe (') to the noun.  This is done so in order to show the possession of the noun.

But to use apostrophe to create singular noun possession there are certain grammatical rules.

If a singular noun is ending with 's' then apostrophe can be added after with the word without adding 's' or with adding 's'. Both ways are correct.

In option A, there is no possession shown. And the correct usage of singular possession for option A would be "Mary was dominant among Jesus' disciples.

So, the correct answer is Option A.

A. Mary is dominant among the disciples of Jesus

A possessive no ownership indicate by adding quotation marks, "s" or both. To make a singular possessive noun, just add the quotation marks and "s."

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

Possess pronouns are pronouns that function to indicate ownership. In a sentence, this word can position itself as a subject, complementary subject, or direct object.

This word is similar to possessive adjectives (also called possessive determinants) - similar but different in structure. Possessive nouns move the possessive nouns that are placed before the nouns to explain them.

Possessive pronouns are used to compile ownership objects. Related to any predecessor or antecedent, singular or plural, relating to the object of ownership.

Hers and her are female, his for male, while it's for gender-neutral.

<h3>Possessive Pronoun </h3>
  • Mine has worn out.
  • I like yours.
  • This is hers.
  • They are using ours.
  • Yours are on the table.
  • Theirs are the best for dry skin.

<h3>Possessive Adjective </h3>
  • My shoes have worn out.
  • I like your style.
  • This is her scarf.
  • They are using our tools.
  • Your tickets are on the table.
  • Their products are the best for dry skin.

NARA [144]

Answer: C.the English countryside

Explanation:

<em>Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented</em> is a novel by written by Thomas Hardy, published in 1891. The story is set at the end of the 19th century, in a region southwest of London. More precisely, the novel takes place in Wessex, an area that includes the county of Dorset and the surrounding counties. The novel itself illustrates the country life during the late Victorian period. The story does not take place in America, so the option A is incorrect. It also certainly does not take place among the Mayan ruins, or London. The story is set in rural England - the correct answer is C. the English countryside.
