Question

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.

The Butler Petrol Cycle was a three-wheeled vehicle. It's rear wheel was directly driven by a flat twin four stroke engine.

• A. Its
• B. Their
• C. It is
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

The correct option is A Its

A possessive pronoun is required to indicate that the wheel is the possession of the cycle. Since it is an inanimate object, possessive form of it should be used without apostrophe, that is, "its". "It's" is the shortened form of "it is". Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
