Answer:

A. James' jacket.

Explanation:

Possessive nouns are those nouns which show or indicate the possessive nature or possession of property by a person. This type of noun is used when there is used when there is the need to show or indicate the possession of the thing.

In the given example, the jacket belongs to James. So, when writing the possessive noun or nature of the jacket, it should be written as James' jacket. The positioning of the apostrophe symbol (') right after the -s in James is due to the fact that the word ends with an -s. So, there is no such need to rewrite or use -'s for James. In other words like Andy or John, the words do not end with an -s, so the possessive noun for them will be written as Andy's/ John's. But in the case of names such as James that ends in an -s, the -' symbol will come after the -s in the name.

kvasek [131]

Answer: Reginald is using his "SOCIAL MIRROR".

Explanation: Social mirror

Social Mirror Theory states that people wants to judge their actions on a peers interpretation of that action, before their act. In other words, people define and resolve their internal thoughts with what their think people will say, if such thought are acted upon.

Because Reginald know that his friends will probably laugh at him, and he will lose value before them, that is why he decided not to act on such thoughts.

Social mirror is very important, because it gives us a better understanding of how people define us. It also gives us sound mind, and a thought that is not fixed to what you want, but what should be socially acceptable.

Social mirror has helped him to make a socially acceptable decision, instead of going naked down the street
