Choose the correct word: ___ coat is this?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Whose
- Step 1: The word asks about ownership, so the possessive form is needed.
- Step 2: Whose asks who owns something; who's means 'who is' or 'who has'.
Answer
Whose.
Why not the others: Who's: This means 'who is' and would read 'Who is coat is this?' Whos: This is not a word. Who: This leaves out the possessive meaning needed.
