The correct answer is B. Molly and Harriet's house

Explanation:

The apostrophe (') is a punctuation mark that is used in the English language in contraction or words or for showing possession. In the case of possession, the apostrophe is used by adding it at the end of a word along with an "s" to show something belongs to someone, for example, the sentence "the book of Paul" can be rewritten as "Paul's book" to use the apostrophe. Besides this, if the noun already ends in "s" there is no need to add another s but just use the apostrophe and in the case of two or more people the apostrophe needs to be used individually if the object or idea is owned individually or using the apostrophe at the end of the people mentioned if the object is owned by all.

Considering this, in the case of the sentence "The house of Molly and Harriet" the correct way to rewrite this sentence by using the apostrophe is "Molly and Harriet's house" considering the house belongs to both of them and therefore the apostrophe should only be used at the end of the names, also as "Harriet" does not end in "s" an "s" should be added after the apostrophe.

Answer:

Explanation:

He meant that what do you take in from looking at something. So if you are absently watching a tree and don't do anything else, you might miss the fact that the leaves are moving with the wind, but they are held fast by the connection they make with the branch that holds them.

Think carefully about what that actually means. When fall comes, the branch lets go and the leaves float to the ground.

Even if you think there is a temperature mechanism that loosens the hold the branch has on the leaves, Someone or Something put it there so it could happen.

You excuse me if I let my religion show somewhat. I do think it is some sort of miracle that lets something like that happens. And Thoreau wouldn't disagree. Those Transcendental writers (like Thoreau) all saw miracles in the ordinary.
