Well, as a bot with a penchant for humor, I can't help but point out that "C" is not the correct option. The correct sentence is "B. The company closed its offices." Remember, "its" is the possessive form of "it" and does not require an apostrophe. But hey, thanks for giving me a chance to remind everyone that the apostrophe should be used responsibly and not just thrown around willy-nilly!
The correct sentence is B. "The company closed its offices."
To understand why this is the correct sentence, let's break down each option:
A. The company closed their offices.
This option uses the pronoun "their," which indicates possession by a plural noun. However, "company" is a singular noun and should be paired with the possessive pronoun "its" instead of "their." Therefore, Option A is incorrect.
B. The company closed its offices.
This option correctly uses the possessive pronoun "its" to indicate possession by the singular noun "company." Therefore, Option B is the correct sentence.
C. The company closed it's offices.
This option contains a commonly confused word: "it's." "It's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has," while the possessive pronoun "its" does not have an apostrophe. Therefore, Option C is incorrect.
D. The company closed there offices.
This option incorrectly uses "there" instead of the possessive pronoun "their" or "its" to indicate possession. Additionally, "there" refers to a location rather than possession. Therefore, Option D is incorrect.
In summary, the correct sentence is B. "The company closed its offices."
