I wonder ____ jacket this is. Does it belong to Jennie, ____ absent today?
whose, whose
who's, who's
who's, whose
whose, who's
whose jacket
who's = who is
The correct answer is: whose, who's
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the difference between "whose" and "who's."
"Whose" is a possessive pronoun that shows ownership or possession. It is used to ask about the owner of something. For example, "Whose jacket is this?" is asking about the ownership of the jacket.
"Who's" is a contraction of "who is" or "who has." It is used to ask about a person or to form a contraction. For example, "Who's absent today?" is asking about a person who is not present.
Given this information, the correct answer in the sentence would be:
"I wonder whose jacket this is. Does it belong to Jennie, who's absent today?"
The first part of the sentence is asking about the ownership of the jacket, so we use "whose." The second part is asking about someone who is absent, so we use the contraction "who's" to mean "who is."
