Question

grammar and punctuation unit test
which sentence correctly shows how the apostrophe is used to form a contraction? (1 point)
○ the missing notebook contained all of the teachers information for the field trip.
● fred noted its a poor time to plant spring flowers until after the last frost.
○ mollys options for courses to study next semester are unlimited.
○ the storms arrival on friday will bring much - needed rain.

Explanation:

To determine which sentence shows an apostrophe used for a contraction, we analyze each option:

• "The missing notebook contained all of the teacher's information for the field trip." Here, the apostrophe is used for possession (teacher's information), not a contraction.
• "Fred noted it's a poor time to plant spring flowers until after the last frost." "It's" is a contraction of "it is", so the apostrophe here forms a contraction.
• "Molly's options for courses to study next semester are unlimited." The apostrophe is for possession (Molly's options), not a contraction.
• "The storm's arrival on Friday will bring much - needed rain." The apostrophe is for possession (storm's arrival), not a contraction.

Answer:

Fred noted it's a poor time to plant spring flowers until after the last frost.
