OpenStudy (sierra!):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (sierra!):

No

OpenStudy (sierra!):

I think C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Witness' indicates more than one witness.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right and final is singular so one witness would be A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct.

OpenStudy (sierra!):

Because for A you wouldnt say The final witness is testimony was long and confusing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Witness's shows possession. It is not the form of "witness is".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the witness's testimony was long and confusing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Witness's is the correct form, in my opinion.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(the witness's testimony) is showing possession over (the persons) testimony. i guess :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep. c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):
