_______wishes to become a opera singer.
1. Kate Tomas
2. Kate Tomas'
3. Kate Tomas's
answer:3
The ___ cheers could be heard for blocks.
1. crowds
2. crowd's
3. crowd
answer: 3
I don't interpret the first one as a possessive noun. I believe it is the subject of the verb, "wishes." However, 3 is right if it is a possessive.
I disagree with your second answer.
answer: crowds
No. The cheers belong to the crowd. Crowd's cheers
I think both your answers are wrong here. Cheers could be heard? Whose cheers? And someone wishes, so she is the subject of the sentence, not a possessive.
1.Kate Tomas
The correct answer for the first question is "Kate Tomas's" (option 3). The reason is that when we want to indicate possession or ownership, we typically use an apostrophe followed by an "s" ( 's ) after the noun. In this case, "Kate Tomas" is the noun, and we want to indicate that the opera singing goal belongs to her, so we add the apostrophe and "s" at the end.
For the second question, the correct answer is "crowd" (option 3). In this case, we don't need to indicate possession or ownership, so we simply use the noun "crowd" to refer to the cheers that could be heard.
