Which possessive noun is written correctly in the sentences below?

English
1 answer:
MariettaO [177]2 years ago

Answer:

A. The baby's bottle was empty.

Explanation:

Possessive nouns are nouns used to show ownership, i.e. that something owns something else. In most cases, a possessive noun is formed by adding an apostrophe and <em>s </em>to the noun. If the noun is plural and already ends in <em>s</em>, only an apostrophe is added.

The sentence that contains a properly written possessive noun is sentence A. The bottle is owned by the baby. An apostrophe and<em> s</em> are properly added to this noun.

In sentence B, the apostrophe should be placed before <em>s</em> in <em>girls'. </em>If the noun was plural, it would've been correct, but it is singular.

In sentence C, there is no possessive noun.

In sentence D, the apostrophe should be placed before<em> s</em> in <em>mens'. Men </em>is the plural form of <em>man</em>, and the possessive form is <em>men's. </em>

Answer:

The common theme of poem 'Invictus' and play 'The Crucible'  is fate and resilience.

Explanation:

"Invictus" is a poem written by William Ernest Henley. The poem is about the suffering or pains that the poet went through when he suffered from a bout with tuberculosis. The poem speaks about the times when a person goes through a dark and trying time and the ability of humans to overcome it. The main message of the poem or the theme is that human can control their fate through resilience.

This theme is evident in the last lines of the poem when the poet says that he is the master of his fate and his soul.

<em>"I am the master of my fate, </em>

<em>I am the captain of my soul."</em>

<em />

<em>"My head is bloody, but unbowed."</em>

<em />

"The Crucible" is a play written by Arthur Miller based on the true incidents of the Salem witch trials. The theme of fate and resilience can also be seen this play in the last scene of the play, when Proctor decided to control his fate. In the last scene of the play, Proctor refuses to sign his name on the paper and be hung on the wall of the church. He decided not to sign, because he knew he was innocent, not in the sight of men but in God. He knew that there is a greater Judgment than this is coming, which will prove his innocence. Thus he takes control of his fate by choosing to be hunged than be shamed and lose his name.  

<em>"PROCTOR: Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life. Because </em>

<em>I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? </em>

<em>I have given you my soul, leave me my name!"</em>

<em />

<em>"PROCTOR: (Crossing slowly to Elizabeth, takes her hand for a moment.) Pray God it  speak some goodness for me."</em>
