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>

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The impact Mama's decision to give the quilts to Maggie has on the development of the plot of "Everyday Use" is the Dee wants to keep the quilts to appreciate for "her heritage" but Maggie wants to use it as its purpose.  This led to Dee believing that Maggie can’t appreciate the quilts just as how she sees them, and she thought that the quilt will be put to “everyday use” by Maggie and within 5 years or so, the quilt will turn into a rag.
