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

I think it's C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, why do you think it's C? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um... I'm sort of confused as to that

Sorry; went to go have some lunch. Alright, so, hour's is not correct because "IN an Hour's time" is not the same as saying "Natalie's hairbrush" The hour is not possessive. Does that make sense? :)
