Question 34 • FL-1001010-M/J Language Arts 1 A-CR

Which sentence uses a contraction incorrectly?

Answer
A
I’d never seen a tornado until last year.
B
They’ve both got wondrous writing talent.
C
We’ve got an urgent appointment to attend.
D
The dog knew it’s job was to stop trespassers.

Explanation

In choice D, “it’s” is a contraction of “it is” or “it has,” but the sentence needs the possessive pronoun “its”: “The dog knew its job was to stop trespassers.” The other choices use contractions correctly: “I’d” means “I had,” and “they’ve” and “we’ve” mean “they have” and “we have.”
