OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so the most important thing to look at is the punctuation on the pronouns, apostrophes and whatnot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when there's an apostrophe it means there's and 'is' in place of the 's' like 'there's'... it's saying 'there is'. so you if you had 'your's' it would be 'your is' and that makes no sense..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its not c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 'their' means it belongs to them... like 'its their house' so saying 'its their's house' that makes now sense it'd be like saying 'its their is house' and that doesn't make sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so not a either

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and when you use the word 'most' you wouldn't use it before a noun, if you were going to do that you would change the noun to have 'est' at the end... so for B it is in the wrong order.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :) hope that helped...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it did thx brofist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BROFIST

OpenStudy (anonymous):

EEEEK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL

Actually, B is correct. It's= it is its= possessive form of it (confusing, I know) And it's not saying the garden has the ripest tomatoes, it's saying it has the largest number of ripe tomatoes. :)
