The option that best shows how to rewrite the phrase "the beards of the three men" with a possessive noun is:
A. The three men's beards.
- This question is about possessive nouns, also known as genitive case.
- The genitive case is generally formed by the addition of an apostrophe and the letter "s" to a noun. It serves to indicate that that noun owns something.
- An example is: My mother's car is the blue one. --> the noun "mother" owns the "car".
- When we have a plural noun, the general rule of using the apostrophe and the "s" may change a little.
- If the plural noun ends in an "s", we must only add the apostrophe. Examples: boys'; girls'; kids'; cats'.
- However, if the plural noun does not end in "s", we must <u>add both the apostrophe and the "s"</u>. Examples: men's; women's; children's.
- Having that in mind, we can see the option A is the correct one. "Men" <u>does not end in "s"</u>. Thus, we should write "men's".
