Question

Choose the correct possessive case of the noun given in the bracket and fill in the blank:
He is not allowed to touch his ________ computer. (brother)

• A. brothers
• B. brotherly
• C. brother's
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C brother's

The possessive case of a singular noun is formed by adding an apostrophe at the end of the noun, followed by the letter "s". In this case, the word in bracket is: "brother", a singular noun. Its possessive form is: brother's. Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

Options A and B are incorrect as they do not follow the possessive sign pattern mentioned above. It may be noted that option B viz. "brotherly" is an adjective and not a noun.
