Which phrase correctly shows that the changing room belongs to several girls?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. The girls' changing room
- Step 1: For a regular plural ending in s, the apostrophe goes after the s.
- Step 2: Girls already has an s, so the possessive form is 'the girls' changing room'.
Answer
The girls' changing room.
Why not the others: The girl's changing room: This shows the room belongs to one girl. The girls changing room: The possessive apostrophe is missing. The girls's changing room: A second s is not added after a regular plural.
