Question

Complete the following sentence using the correct possessive noun:
Yesterday, ______ sister called at our house.

• A. Morris's
• B. Morrises'
• C. Morris
• D. Morrises

Answer 1

The correct option is A Morris's

The correct proper noun is Morris.

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

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

Option B: Morrises' is a plural noun. But, a proper noun does not have a plural form.

Option C: The noun 'Morris' is not in the possessive case.

Option D: Morrises is a plural noun but proper nouns cannot be plural.

Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
