Right!
To determine the correct possessive form in this sentence, we need to understand the concept of possessive nouns. Possessive nouns show ownership or possession of something. In this case, we want to indicate that the lives belong to the outcasts.
The sentence initially states "the outcast's lives," with the apostrophe after the word "outcast." This indicates that the lives belong to a single outcast, which is not what we want. We actually want to show that the lives belong to multiple outcasts.
To correct the possessive form, we need to change the apostrophe position and add an 's' after the word "outcasts." This will make the possessive noun plural. Therefore, the correct possessive form is "outcasts'."
Thus, the corrected sentence would be: "Small acts of kindness made the outcasts' lives better."
