4. What is the correct way to write the bone of Dogzilla?

Explanation

The correct way to write the bone of Dogzilla is "Dogzilla's bone." This is because the possessive form of a singular noun ending in "s" is formed by adding an apostrophe and an "s" after the noun. In this case, "Dogzilla" is a singular noun, so the possessive form is "Dogzilla's."

Submit

8. What is the correct way for making knife plural?

Explanation

15. Which of the following suffixes can be added at the end of the word wander to make a new word that means “someone who wanders”?

Explanation

Adding the suffix "er" to the word "wander" creates the new word "wanderer," which means "someone who wanders." The suffix "er" is commonly used to indicate a person or thing that performs a particular action or has a certain quality. In this case, adding "er" to "wander" creates a noun that describes a person who wanders.

A the two volcanoes’ are erupting
B many puppy’s are barking
