  • 2. 

    Claire wrote  her report about a star.*Replace the underlined portion with the correct pronoun.

    • She

    • He

    • It

    • They

    Correct Answer
    A. It
    Explanation
    The correct pronoun to replace "a star" is "it" because "a star" is a singular noun and requires a singular pronoun. "She" and "he" are used for referring to people, while "they" is used for referring to multiple entities. Therefore, "it" is the appropriate pronoun in this context.

    Mrs. Toppel and the students learned safety tips at school.*Replace the underlined portion with the correct pronoun.

    • She

    • He

    • It

    • They

    Correct Answer
    A. They
    Explanation
    The correct pronoun to replace "Mrs. Toppel and the students" is "they" because it is a plural pronoun that refers to multiple people. In this sentence, the subject is a group of people, so the pronoun should also be plural to maintain agreement. Therefore, "they" is the appropriate pronoun to use in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    TeamsThe two _________ goals were made from goalposts on the field.*Read each sentence.  Decide if the underlined word should end with -s' or -'s.

    • -s'

    • -'s

    Correct Answer
    A. -s'
    Explanation
    The correct answer is -s'. In this sentence, the word "goals" is plural, indicating that there is more than one goal. When forming the possessive form of a plural noun that ends in -s, we add an apostrophe after the -s without adding another -s. Therefore, the correct possessive form is -s'.

    Rate this question:

  • 5.

    • -s'

    • -'s

    Correct Answer
    A. -s'
    Explanation
    The underlined word "Animals" is plural, indicating that there is more than one animal. When indicating possession for a plural noun, the correct form is to add an apostrophe after the -s. Therefore, the correct answer is "-s'".

    • Caterpillars' body

    • Caterpillar's body

    • Ant's body

    • Strong ants

    Correct Answer
    A. Caterpillar's body
    Explanation
    The correct way to write the singular possessive is "caterpillar's body". This indicates that the body belongs to one caterpillar.

    The antennae of the ant help it find food.*Select the correct way to write the singular possessive.

    • Antennae's ant

    • Ant's antennae

    • Ant's food

    • Ants' antennae

    Correct Answer
    A. Ant's antennae
    Explanation
    The correct way to write the singular possessive is "ant's antennae". This is because the possessive form is used to show ownership or belonging. In this case, we are referring to the antennae belonging to the ant. Therefore, we use the apostrophe followed by the letter "s" to indicate possession.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The home of the insect is under the crack in the sidewalk.*Select the correct way to write the singular possessive.

    • Insects' home

    • Home's insect

    • Insect's sidewalk

    • Insect's home

    Correct Answer
    A. Insect's home
    Explanation
    The correct way to write the singular possessive in this sentence is "insect's home." This is because we are indicating that the home belongs to the insect. The apostrophe followed by the letter "s" shows possession.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Carpenter ants hatch from the cocoons of larvae.*Select the correct way to write the singular possessive.

    • Larvae's cocoons

    • Cocoon's larvae

    • Ant's cocoons

    • Ant's larvae

    Correct Answer
    A. Larvae's cocoons
    Explanation
    The correct way to write the singular possessive is "larvae's cocoons." This is because the possessive form is used to show that the cocoons belong to the larvae. In this case, "larvae" is a plural noun, so we add an apostrophe and an "s" to indicate possession.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    MensThe ____________ softball team lost the game in the final inning.*Read each sentence.  Decide if the underlined word should end with -s' or -'s.

    • -s'

    • -'s

    Correct Answer
    A. -'s
    Explanation
    In this sentence, the word "mens" is possessive, indicating that it belongs to the softball team. When a singular noun ends with "s," the possessive form is created by adding an apostrophe and an "s" ('s). Therefore, the correct answer is -'s.
