*Replace the underlined portion with the correct pronoun.

Explanation

The correct pronoun to replace "Mrs. Toppel and the students" is "they" because it is a plural pronoun that refers to multiple people.

*Read each sentence.  Decide if the underlined word should end with -s' or -'s.

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'.

Explanation
