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>
“She asked if I was an animal lover”
Prose must explain complete ideas because it enables the reader to comprehend the authors vision, and thought process as well as the emotional state that the author wants the character(s) to have. This is in the case of fiction.
When it comes to nonfiction it enables the reader to understand the material or the argument presented in front of him or her. Furthermore, arguments when presented with evidence which incorporates complete ideas and knowledge of the topic in question. It gives the reader a proper explanation and answers to the questions that may arise whilst reading the informative material at hand.
Answer:
Suzanne appears to be in the stage of B. Contemplation.
Explanation:
In 1977, the transtheoretical model of behavior change was developed. It is a result of analysis and application of several psychotherapy theories. Its purpose is to assess someone's readiness to change an unhealthy behavior, trading it for a healthier one. The stages are:
1. Precontemplation
2. Contemplation
3. Preparation
4. Action
5. Maintenance
6. Termination
<u>In the contemplation stage, the person is getting ready to change. They are able to see how their current behavior can be harmful, and consider the pros and cons of making the change. </u>However, they are not yet prepared, taking small steps in order to begin the change. That would be the preparation stage.
As we can see, Suzanne is not taking steps yet, thus she is not in the preparation stage. She has already gone past the stage of precontemplation, in which she is not ready at all and doesn't even understand how her behavior is making her unhealthy. <u>Suzanne can see the pros and cons of a change - she would feel stronger and healthier (pro) but would have to resist temptation (con). She is clearly considering change as a possibility, but is not thoroughly ready to start doing it. Therefore, she is in the contemplation stage.</u>
