Which sentence demonstrates correct use of the apostrophe? A) The bicycle is definitely theirs'. B) Her's is the last drawing of its kind. C) A dollars' worth is not what it used to be. D) The dangerous crosswalk is everybody's problem.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is choice D: The dangerous crosswalk is everybody's problem. ...In choice A, the word "theirs" is not a contraction, so it would not need an apostrophe. The same is true for choice B: "Hers" is not a contraction; no apostrophe is needed. Also, in choice C, "dollar's" is not a contraction, but it is a possessive, so it needs an apostrophe, however the apostrophe is incorrectly placed after the "s", instead of before it.
D because the apostrophe is used to make the word everybody possessive, meaning the the breach is the problem of every body.
B. is correct written, but the apostrophe there it's being used just to make a contraction between here and is which means that is not necessary , and is also incorrect for a formal writing, for in formal writings you should not use contractions.
