Question

photographer ansel adams’s landscape portraits are iconic pieces of american art. however, many of the ______ of landscapes were intended not as art but as marketing; a concessions company at yosemite national park had hired adams to take pictures of the park for restaurant menus and brochures. which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of standard english? choose 1 answer: a photographers early photo’s b photographers early photos c photographer’s early photos d photographer’s early photo’s

Explanation:

1. First, we need the singular possessive form of "photographer" to show the photos belong to Ansel Adams (one photographer), so it should be "photographer's" (not the plural "photographers").
2. Next, "photos" is the plural of "photo"; no apostrophe is needed here because we are not showing possession, just referring to multiple pictures.

Answer:

C. photographer's early photos
