Money might be sewn into ______ coat linings.
Answers
A. Women's
B. Woman's
C. Womens'
D. Woman's
Is it b
If it is money sewn into ONE woman's coat linings, then yes, it would be B, but with an article added: Money might be sewn into a woman's coat linings.
But if it is money sewn into the linings of coats that women wear, then it's A.
PS -- There is no such word as womens'.
Ok my answer is A. I guess this one confused me
The plurals and possessives of irregular nouns are not easy, that's for sure.
Yes, your answer "B. Woman's" is correct. "Woman's" is the possessive form of the noun "woman" because it indicates that the coat linings belong to a single woman.
To determine the correct answer, you need to understand possessive nouns and how they are formed. In this case, you are looking for the possessive form of the noun "woman." To make a singular noun possessive, you add an apostrophe and an "s" at the end. So, "woman" becomes "woman's."
Let's go through the options:
A. Women's - This is incorrect because "women" is the plural form of "woman," and the sentence is referring to a single woman.
B. Woman's - This is the correct answer. "Woman's" is the possessive form of "woman" and indicates that the coat linings belong to a single woman.
C. Womens' - This is incorrect because "womens'" is not a word. The plural form of "woman" is "women," but the sentence refers to a single woman.
D. Woman's - This is the same as option B and is the correct answer.
So, your answer of "B. Woman's" is correct.
