Question

what is the word in bold? the vultures small red heads and sharp white beaks could be seen from a distance as the large birds circled overhead. a singular possessive noun a plural possessive noun a plural noun

Explanation:

1. First, analyze the word "vultures'". The base noun "vulture" becomes plural as "vultures" (indicating more than one vulture).
2. Then, the apostrophe after "vultures" shows possession (the heads and beaks belong to the vultures).
3. A singular possessive noun would be like "vulture's" (for one vulture), and a plural noun without possession would be "vultures". Since "vultures'" is plural (multiple vultures) and shows possession, it is a plural possessive noun.

Answer:

B. a plural possessive noun
