Which word correctly completes the sentence? My aunt keeps track of many family __________ birthdays. A. members B. members' <--- my answer C. member's Which word correctly completes the sentence? An __________ design influences the materials the builder will use. A. architect's B. architects' <--- my answer C. architects

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first one, "During January that __________ gate is closed." the park is in possession of the gate, what do we use when showing possession?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

has possession of the gate* sorry, mistyped :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um, we used s'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*use

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, if we use " parks' " that means that there is more than one park. Try, "park's." :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh okay! Thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem! As for the second one, I think that is correct. The third, "An __________ design influences the materials the builder will use." "An" indicates that there is only one architect. Remember that " s' " is plural possessive. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be archteict's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D Thanks so much I have a few more I need checked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem! Sure! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks!

Which word correctly completes the sentence? Did you notice the area of bare skin on those __________ faces? A. cranes <-- my answer B. crane's C. cranes' Which word correctly completes the sentence? The __________ shoe department is on the other side of the store. A. mens' B. mens C. men's <-- my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which word correctly completes the sentence? The scientists tracked several __________ flight paths. A. geese's B. geeses' <-- My answer C. geeses Which word correctly completes the sentence? All four of this __________ tires need to be inflated. A. cars B. car's <-- my answer C. cars'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"Did you notice the area of bare skin on those __________ faces?" "Cranes" would be plural, remember what what plural possessive is? "The __________ shoe department is on the other side of the store." I would use "men's" as well! So, I'd say that's correct :) "The scientists tracked several __________ flight paths." Remember, "geese" is already the plural of "goose." What do you think? "All four of this __________ tires need to be inflated." "Car's" would be correct here because there is one car. Good job! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. I think cranes' 3. I think maybe geeses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. Is correct! :) 3. Not quite. "Geese" is already plural. So plural possessive would be…?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

geeses'!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! :) I found that one difficult at first. Just remember that sometimes there are words such as "man" and "goose" that have plural forms that do NOT end in "s." :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks! I have three more to be checked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem! Okay :)

Which word correctly completes the sentence? The final __________ testimony was long and confusing. A. witness' B. witness's C. witnesses <-- my answer Which word correctly completes the sentence? That young ___________ wool is so thick and fluffy. A. sheep's B. sheeps' <-- my answer C. sheeps Which word correctly completes the sentence? At the __________ museum, dinosaur bones are on display. A. children's <-- my answer B. childrens' C. childrens

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"The final __________ testimony was long and confusing." Well, "witnesses" is plural. If it's the "final" (singular) witness, what do you think the answer is? "That young ___________ wool is so thick and fluffy." "Sheeps'" is an informal plural of "sheep. ["Sheep" is a special word that can be plural and singular. Example: The shepherd guides his sheep. (Plural) The sheep broke his leg. (Singular)] If you're still a bit confused on this one, let me know and I'll try to explain it again! This one is a little confusing. :) "At the __________ museum, dinosaur bones are on display." "Children's" is correct! Great job! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks! 1. Um hmm. witness' 2. I am kinda thinking sheep's 3. Thanks!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. I am actually not 100% sure on this one. But I am leaning more towards "witness's." Sorry! I do know that "witnesses" is incorrect. 2. Yes! Terrific! :D 3. You're very welcome!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry it took me so long to reply! My laptop froze.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
