Question

Complete the following sentence using the correct possessive noun:
The shop did not display _______ coats in the window.

• A. men
• B. man
• C. man's
• D. men's

Answer 1

The correct option is D men's

The possessive form of a noun is formed using an 's.

Option D: The possessive form of the noun 'men' is men's. It's formed by adding an 's to it. Hence option D is correct.

Option A: The noun 'men' is not in the possessive case.

Option B: 'Man' is a singular noun and it's not in the possessive case.

Option C: Man's is a singular noun in the possessive case. But the given sentence is spoken of in the plural sense. The noun 'men' is spoken of in general, in terms of a section and is hence plural.

Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
