Question

Which sentence contains an incorrect possessive form?

A. She's going to buy a dollars worth of food from the vending machine.
B. The store is about an hour's walk from our house.
C. He saved almost the entire month's pay in his bank account.
D. I needed to rest after the day's work.

Answer 1

What do you think it is?

Answer 2

Showing possession in English is a relatively easy matter (believe it or not). By adding an apostrophe and an s we can manage to transform most singular nouns into their possessive form:

the car's front seat
Charles's car
Bartkowski's book
a hard day's work

Answer 3

I honestly don't see one that is incorrect.

Answer 4

Well, I think we can eliminate C. and D.

Answer 5

Yup... A or B has NO 's.... Which one?

Answer 6

The answer is .... B. !!

Answer 7

a is used with singulars okay
a book
a car
a house
u wont say a houses
a cars
a bags
an apostrophe makes it sound like its someone possesion
like journalist's friend

Answer 8

Nope... B has an 's.
