Question 2 • FL-1001010-M/J Language Arts 1 A-CR

Which sentence uses a contraction incorrectly?

Answer
A
How’s your new business venture going?
B
There’s a guest coming over this afternoon.
C
We’d never do anything to hinder your progress.
D
I think you’re graduation is a big accomplishment.

Explanation

In D, “you’re” means “you are,” so “you’re graduation” would mean “you are graduation,” which does not make sense. The sentence needs the possessive word “your”: “I think your graduation is a big accomplishment.” The other contractions are used correctly: “How’s” means “how is,” “there’s” means “there is,” and “we’d” means “we would.”
