Question

An incorrectly punctuated sentence is provided. Select the option that mentions the error:
New York's skyline has lost two of it's most famous buildings.

• A. New York is a proper noun and does not need an apostrophe.
• B. 'It's' should not have an apostrophe as it's possessive.
• C. The buildings belong to the skyline and need an apostrophe after the 's'.
• D. There should be an apostrophe before the 's' in buildings.
• E. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B 'It's' should not have an apostrophe as it's possessive.

Apostrophe is used to indicate belonging. 'Its' is used to indicate possessiveness. 'It's' is the abbreviation of 'It is'. Here, apostrophe is not needed with 'It' because 'Its' is used to indicate possession and not an abbreviation. Therefore, the correct option is: B) 'It's' should not have an apostrophe as it's possessive.
