Making Predictions in a Mystery: "Object Lesson"

Question 7 • FL-1001010-M/J Language Arts 1 A-CR

Which sentences use contractions and possessive words correctly? Select three.

Answer

Ben’s family went to check on they’re horses.

It’s early in the spring, and the meadow grasses are just starting to grow.

“Misty, I have your favorite treat,” he calls.

An apple in his palm catches a white horse’s attention, and it raises it’s head.

“You’re going to love it when the apples grow on the trees in the orchard,” he laughs.

Explanation

B uses “It’s” correctly as a contraction of “it is.” C correctly uses “your” to show that the treat belongs to Misty. E correctly uses “You’re” to mean “you are”; A should use “their” for the horses, and D should use “its” for the horse’s head.
