I think it's c, It makes sense.
The answer would be <span>B.ours.
Because the possessive pronoun for :theirs: is :ours:
>> they are losing ownership. << </span>
The five senses are sight, smell, hearing, tasting, and feeling. New York plays on all of these senses in one way or another. Here's a good paragraph to emphasize this:
Manhattan in the winter is a beautiful thing; there are remnants of the holidays all around--the Rockefeller tree looms over passersby, the scent of roasted hazelnuts drifts from the street vendors, streets aglow with millions of lights. On the streets, people grasp hot chocolate or coffee in their hand, feeling the warmth through their gloves. The sound of laughter and bells are carried by the howling wind, immersing the streets in holiday joy. Outside of the city, you can see Christmas in suburbia--lights are strung up on snow-covered houses, children play outside, creating snowmen and forts. The sound of Christmas carolers pierces the air, carrying the holiday spirit with them. The snow is cold to the touch, frost biting through gloves to nip at your fingers. The rich taste of hot chocolate sits on your tongue. The scent of pine trees and baked goods reminds you of one thing--Christmas in New York.
Hope this helps!
I would say the answer would be C but the actual meaning of the word "punctilious " means showing great attention to detail or correct behavior . Matthew may have be trying to spell it correctly or just came up short . So therefore it would be A .
