Answer:

1. The correct answer in this question is friends'.

2. The correct answer in this question is boxes'.

3. The correct answer in this question is houses'.

4. The fourth question is already correct.

5. The correct answer in this question is people's.

Explanation:

The possessive in English is formed by adding an apostrophe and an "s" to the singular noun. When the noun is in plural, we would add only the apostrophe if the noun ends in an "s," or the apostrophe+"s" if the noun ends in a different letter. Possessives show relationships of belonging between one thing and another.

Correct the two pronoun-related errors in this paragraph:
Furkat [3]

Last sentence: 'earning their creators...' should be 'its creators'.  and 'our intended landing point' should be its intended landing point.

Also, you might want to consider whether the last sentence borders on being a run-on, and whether breaking it into two sentences might not enhance readability.

PLEASE HELP!!! I AM LITERALLY DESPERATE!!
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

First Muir described how he slept sometimes without supper, and then he says he had no difficulty finding a loaf of bread at the farmers' houses. He starts of the paragraph with a complaint of sleeping without blankets, and starts to transition again into nature and its beauty. In the paragraph, Muir says "Storms, thunderclouds, winds in the woods—were welcomed as friends;" when we hear storms, thunderclouds, winds, etc. it brings fear, damage, but Muir then says "were welcomed as friends."

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

C. Allegory

Explanation:

Allegory is known as an extended metaphor whereby a long narrative is used to teach a lesson or prove a point from an absurd, unrelated story. The story usually has an implied and literal meaning.

So, a writer that comes up with an outrageous solution to poverty just to highlight the heartlessness and absurdity of the rulers he lives under uses an allegory to tell his story.

Having just finished a tough book report, alyssa looked forward to a relaxing weekend spent with her family.Which is the correct
kifflom [539]

A seems like the right answer. Normally if a sentence sounds right, it is.

B is wrong because it makes it seem like she finished a book report with her family. The words are all mixed up.

C is wrong because it says she looked forward to having just finished... it doesn't make sense. She was looking forward to a relaxing weekend, not the report.

D is wrong because the words are all mixed up and doesn't make sense.

Hope this helps!
