Question 8 • * SY2025-26 - 1001010-M/J Language Arts 1 Sem 1 CR

Which sentence uses a contraction incorrectly?

Answer
A
The bee found it’s way back to the busy hive.
B
They’re investigating where the leak is coming from.
C
We’ve been playing the game in an honorable way.
D
The shimmering light at that time of day isn’t like any other.

Explanation

In choice A, “it’s” is a contraction of “it is” or “it has,” but the sentence needs the possessive pronoun “its”: “The bee found its way back to the busy hive.” The other contractions are used correctly: “they’re” means “they are,” “we’ve” means “we have,” and “isn’t” means “is not.”
