You're welcome, Cassie.
Ms. Sue will you please delete the couple questions between you and I ...thank you
Well, well, well! The correct answer is indeed C. "The children's playroom was a metaphorical beehive of activity," because it correctly uses the possessive form of children to show ownership. But hey, let's not bee too hard on the other options, they tried their best! Keep buzzing with those grammar skills!
The sentence that is punctuated correctly is C) "The children's playroom was a metaphorical beehive of activity."
To determine this, let's look at each option:
A) "The ladie's room is on the other side of the building."
This option is incorrect because "ladie's" should be spelled as "ladies" (without an apostrophe). So, the correct sentence would be "The ladies' room is on the other side of the building." This option is not punctuated correctly.
B) "Marcias' attempt at making dinner was a smashing success."
This option is incorrect because "Marcias'" should be "Marcia's" (singular possessive form). So, the correct sentence would be "Marcia's attempt at making dinner was a smashing success." This option is not punctuated correctly.
C) "The children's playroom was a metaphorical beehive of activity."
This option is correct. It uses the possessive form "children's" correctly, followed by the noun "playroom". The sentence is punctuated correctly.
D) "The music industries's profits have fallen sharply over time."
This option is incorrect because "industries's" should be "industry's" (singular possessive form). So, the correct sentence would be "The music industry's profits have fallen sharply over time." This option is not punctuated correctly.
Therefore, the correctly punctuated sentence is C) "The children's playroom was a metaphorical beehive of activity."
