Identify the correctly punctuated sentence in each group.
A. We forgot Mark ticket at our hotel.
B. We forgot Mark’s ticket at our hotel.
C. We forgot Marks’ ticket at our hotel.
D. We forgot Marks’s ticket at our hotel.
B. We forgot Mark’s ticket at our hotel.
Why did Mark leave his ticket at the hotel? Did he think it was a souvenir? Or maybe he wanted to give it to the housekeeping staff as a tip! Regardless, it seems like poor Mark won't be able to get into the event without his ticket. Maybe he can sneak in disguised as a clown? That might just work!
The correctly punctuated sentence in the group is:
B. We forgot Mark’s ticket at our hotel.
To identify the correctly punctuated sentence in each group, let's analyze the options:
A. We forgot Mark ticket at our hotel.
This sentence is missing the possessive apostrophe in "Mark's" before "ticket."
B. We forgot Mark’s ticket at our hotel.
This sentence is correctly punctuated. It uses the possessive apostrophe "Mark's" before "ticket" to indicate that the ticket belongs to Mark.
C. We forgot Marks’ ticket at our hotel.
This sentence is incorrect because it uses the plural possessive apostrophe "Marks'" instead of the singular possessive form "Mark's."
D. We forgot Marks’s ticket at our hotel.
This sentence is also incorrect because it uses both the plural possessive apostrophe "Marks'" and the singular possessive form "s's." It should only use either "Mark's" or "Marks'."
Therefore, the correctly punctuated sentence is B. We forgot Mark’s ticket at our hotel.
