I will give you a medal and be your fan Which sentence contains an incorrect possessive form? A. I followed Grandmother's pasta recipe. B. The boys joke made us all laugh. C. We borrowed Ashley's large wooden spoon. D. Dirty bowls covered the kitchen counter.

I think it's D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain why you think it's B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@lauluisa you just said it's D,now you're saying it's B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, its asking for incorrect possessive form. "Dirty bowls covered the counter." has nothing to do with possession there is no possession in the sentence. the phrase "the boys jokes" should be boys' because the apostrophe shows possession.

I read that wrong it should be boy's* but the answer is still B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh I didn't think about it that way,thanks
