Question

Which of the following shows a correct use of apostrophes?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. john's '69 ford is his favorite car.

Explanation:

Apostrophes are used to:

1. To indicate possession
2. To indicate an omission of letters or numbers
3. To separate the s in plural letters/numbers and abbreviations.

In the question given above, John is the owner of the ford car, therefore in the sentence an apostrophe is used to indicate John possession of the car. Also, the apostrophe is used in the sentence to indicate an omission of a number. The year 1969 is represented as '69. Hence the correct use of apostrophes becomes:

John's '69 ford is his favorite car.
