Which possessive noun is written correctly in the sentences below?

English
1 answer:
MariettaO [177]3 years ago
4 0

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>

Which word best describes Nadia at the end of the story??
DENIUS [597]
Based on the story, I would say the best word to describe Nadia at the end of the story would be, "accomplished". After seeing her mother in the front row, which reminded her of home and Lucky, she was able to put her fears aside and complete her performance. 

Hope this helps.
Take care.
