The sentence that contains a singular possessive noun is: A. The book tells the nation's history.
To determine which sentence contains a singular possessive noun, we need to identify a noun that shows ownership or possession. In this case, "nation's" in sentence A is a possessive noun because it indicates that the history being referred to belongs to the nation.
To better understand this, let's break down the sentence:
- "The book" is the subject of the sentence, talking about a specific book.
- "Tells" is the verb, indicating that the book is conveying or providing information.
- "The nation's history" is the object of the verb, explaining what information the book is conveying. The possessive noun "nation's" shows that the history belongs to the nation.
Therefore, the sentence "The book tells the nation's history" contains a singular possessive noun.
