Which sentence uses the possessive 'its' correctly?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. The committee announced its decision on Friday afternoon.
- Step 1: 'Its' without an apostrophe is the possessive form. Step 2. 'It's' always means 'it is' or 'it has'. Answer: The committee announced its decision on Friday afternoon. Why not the others: The others use the contraction where a possessive is needed, drop the possessive or use an invalid form.
