An apostrophe is used when you want to do one of the following: show possession, when changing a single noun to its plural form and when you are using contractions, or contracted words, like it and is. In this particular case, we have two cases in which we need to use apostrophes. The first is the use of the last name of two subjects. This last name is, in its singular form, Smith, but because we are talking about more than one (plural), we need to change the singular word into its plural form. To do this, we add the apostrophe after the H and add an s. This shows the plural form. Also, we have a contracted word, it and is. The correct way to show the contraction is by using an apostrophe between the original word (it) and to signify the presence of is adjoined to it, we add an apostrophe and we add the "s" after it. This is why the correct answer is A.

just took test hope i helped please like and thank if it is alright
Explanation:
Let us dissect each sentence to tell which of these does not follow the rules for subject-verb agreement.
A.) The subject is 'each of the students' while the verb is 'is'. More particularly, the verb refers to 'each' which is singular. So, this is correct.
B.) The subject is 'student' while the verb is 'were'. The word 'were' is the paste tense of are which is used for a plural subject. But since student is singular, then the verb should have been 'was'. So, this is incorrect.
C.) The subject is 'my dog and my cat' which pertains to two nouns, thus it is plural. It agrees with its plural verb 'are'.
D.) The subject is 'Tom' while the verb is 'does'. Both are intended for singular use. So, this is correct.
Therefore, the answer to this is letter B.
Women is a plural noun because the singular noun is woman.
