An apostrophe used as a contraction replaces a letter such as 'can't' the apostrophe replaces the 'o' in 'not' another common example would be 'it's' as in 'it is'. The apostrophe replaces the 'i' in 'is'.
To show possession take the noun and add an apostrophe and an 's' such as 'Mrs. Noble's friend' The apostrophe and the 's' show possession. If the noun is plural or already ends in an 's' do not put an 's' again. For example 'the birds' tree is lovely' Birds as in many birds if it was one bird it would be 'the bird's tree is lovely'
Hope this helps! good luck :)
D. the reader. The reader will always be the one you're writing for, since the idea of writing, especially academic writing, is usually meant for others to read.
Answer:
Subordinate clause: "that they could outsmart the law"
Clause type: Adjective clause
Explanation:
A subordinate or dependent clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb that does not express a complete thought on its own, and therefore it cannot stand by itself: it needs to depend on another clause to have meaning. In a sentence, this type of clause may function as an adjective, an adverb or as a noun.
As an adjective clause, it describes, modifies or adds further information to another noun; and always begins whether with a relative pronoun (who, whom, whose, that, or which) or a relative adverb (when, where, or why).
In the sentence, "that they could outsmart the law" is a subordinate clause because it has a subject (they) and a verb (outsmart) and it can not express a complete thought. Furthermore, it is also an adjective clause because it begins with the relative pronoun "that" and it describes the noun "belief". What belief did they have? "that they could outsmart the law."
