Answer:

Use an apostrophe in the possessive form of a noun to indicate ownership. To

show

ownership, add apostrophe + s to the end of a word, with one exception: To show

ownership with a plural noun already ending in s add only the apostrophe.

 All singular nouns show possession by adding apostrophe + s ('s), including those

that already end in s.

Examples:

A boy's shirt is under the chair.

The child's toy was on the shelf.

Lois's book is fascinating.

The bus's door was still open

(GIVING BRAINLYIST) Read the excerpt from the story Animals in the Zoo.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

In Animals in the Zoo, Ryan's mother assures him that they aren't going to operate. In Winter Driving, Jesper pulls his car over, flexes his hands, and takes a few breaths.

Explanation:

Supporting Detail:

In Animals in the Zoo:

He was scared, and his mother noticed right away.

"Don't worry, we won't be operating on the tamarins today. We are just checking their health and looking at their eyes, ears, and hands during this visit

The public wasn't allowed to see them until Ryan's mother had looked them over and made sure they were healthy.

If these two stayed healthy and appeared to be happy in their enclosure, the zoo would be able to get even more tamarins to fill the exhibit which is why they wanted to make sure they had an expert come in to examine them.

In Winter Driving:

The snow was still falling, and he knew he definitely didn't want to get stuck sleeping in his car. He had come this far, and he was determined to make it all the way home.

Ronch [10]

Bruno's father really knows when to argue and when to be silent, the problem is that he only does this for his own benefit and regardless of how his argument or silence can harm, hurt and even confuse other people. It was arguing that Bruno's father was able to establish his authority over those he recognizes as weaker and it was his ability to remain silent that allowed Bruno's father to achieve increasingly successful positions in his profession.

However, these capabilities contributed to Bruno's confusion and curiosity about the prisoners. It was exactly this curiosity and confusion that made Bruno come to a terrible end.

For this reason, we could advise Bruno's father not to remain silent in the face of injustices against the most disadvantaged people. Furthermore, he should use his ability to argue against injustices and explain to his family the wrong and awful things that are happening.
