I think it would be A. The ' after the s shows possession. The ' before the s would be rabbit is. Rabbits would be more than 1 rabbit

texaschic101 · Answer

I am not 100% sure, but I am guessing rabbits' (A)

texaschic101 · Answer

or possibly C

anonymous · Answer

Wouldn't that be used if there is more than one rabbit?

anonymous · Answer

Rabbits' shows possession. Ask yourself, whos pace is it? The rabbits

texaschic101 · Answer

it might be C

paki · Answer

option C

anonymous · Answer

texaschic101 · Answer

Yes...I think it is C because you are not trying to show possession.

It says "who ran at *A* ____ pace." Because it says a, it is insinuating it is singular, therefore it would be one rabbit. "a rabbit's pace." If it was more than one rabbit it would be "rabbits'", which is incorrect. C is also incorrect because shows no possession. Whose pace is it with no possession? It's the rabbit's and you need to show that. The CORRECT answer is B.

anonymous · Answer

I  got the two answers mixed up, sorrt

texaschic101 · Answer

But your not talking about a particular rabbit, so I do not think it would be B

paki · Answer

its not B... its A....A

texaschic101 · Answer

sorry but I got to go now....sorry I wasn't much help

anonymous · Answer

if you look at
a person's clothes l people's clothes 
its not talking about someone in particular either

foreverjennnicole · Answer

Look at it this way: If you say "a dog", are you talking about one or more? It's just one, right? Here, it says "a _____". Since it says "a" , it must be singular, which means you are talking about one rabbit. If it said those rabbits or all the rabbits it would be plural, but it does not, so it is singular. There is no possible way it is A or C.

@texaschic101 @paki http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/using-apostrophes-to-show-possession.html You guys check out this website if you don't believe me. It may explain it better than I am.

I would put B because the first choice would be grammatically incorrect, and the 3rd option is saying that there is more than 1 rabbit by having the s at the end :) Hope This Helps!
