    • Teacher's

    • Teachers'

    Correct Answer
    A. Teachers'
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "teachers'". This is because the sentence is referring to multiple teachers, and the possessive form for plural nouns is indicated by adding an apostrophe after the "s". In this case, the apostrophe is placed after the "s" in "teachers" to show that the theme is common to all of them.

    Correct Answer
    A. Mothers-in-law
    Explanation
    Our family tradition calls for all mothers-in-law to bake a pie at Thanksgiving. The correct answer is "mothers-in-law" because it is the plural form of "mother-in-law" and matches the subject of the sentence, which is "all." This means that multiple mothers-in-law are expected to participate in the tradition of baking pies at Thanksgiving.
