Question 4 • * SY2025-26 - 1001010-M/J Language Arts 1 Sem 1 CR

Which sentence uses a contraction incorrectly?

Answer
A
Who’s trash is that in the corner?
B
He’s ready for his solo piano performance.
C
Most cats stalk their prey at night, but ours doesn’t.
D
My memory of the event was very vivid, but hers wasn’t.

Explanation

A) “Who’s trash is that in the corner?” uses “who’s,” a contraction of “who is” or “who has.” The sentence needs “whose,” which asks who owns the trash: “Whose trash is that in the corner?” The other sentences use their contractions correctly.
