The option that shows how to correctly rewrite the given phrase above using an apostrophe is: the guys' skateboards. The correct answer would be option A. In this case, an apostrophe is only added to indicate possession because the given word is already in its plural form.

Answer: a. the guys' skateboards.

Option A is the one that correctly uses the possessive form. Most of the time, when we are turning a noun into a possessive, we add an "s" if the noun is singular:

<u>Ex. </u>the bike of the man = the man's bike

However, when we are dealing with plurals, the apostrophe is added to indicate the possessive, but no "s" is needed anymore:

<u>Ex. </u>the skateboard of the guys = the guys' skateboard

Which of the following best states the author’s overall purpose in this text?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The option which best states the author's overall purpose in this text is:

D. To inform the reader of a theory that attempts to explain why generations act the way they do.

Explanation:

I looked this question up and found out it concerns the text "What Past Generations Can Teach Us About Our Future," by former Newsweek correspondent Mike Kubic (born in 1927).

According to the article, Strauss & Howe developed a theory that explains and, in a way, even predicts how each generation will act. There are four "turnings" or stages which generations go through. According to Strauss & Howe's observations, these stages always happen in the same order: high, awakening, unraveling, and crisis. The generation belonging to each turning will always present certain traits and behaviors concerning their sense of community, individualism, economic prosperity, respect for institutions, etc.

<u>According to Kubic, this theory has been both praised and criticized, even though, so far, it has been able to successfully make predictions about the American society. However, it is important to note that Kubic does not praise or criticize it himself. All he does is describe and explain it. His purpose is to inform readers about the existence of the theory.</u>
