• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

There are two new lady MPs in Johnson's party at Parliament.

According to general rule, the possessive of a singular noun is formed by adding an apostrophe and s, whether the singular noun ends in s or not. Therefore, in the given sentence, the possessive of the word Johnson should be written as 'Johnson's'.

The possessive is seldom used to form a plural noun. Thus, the plural of MP can be written as 'MP's'.

Therefore, according to the rule, the correct answer will be Option C.
