Question

Form the possessive case of the noun given in the bracket:
His ___________colour were pale yellow. (teeth)

• A. teeth's
• B. teeths'
• C. teeth
• D. tooth's

Answer 1

The correct option is A teeth's

The possessive form of a plural noun which does not end in "s" is formed by suffixing apostrophe followed by the letter "s" to the noun.

Here, the noun teeth is in plural form. It does not end in "s". Hence, its possessive case is teeth's. Option A is the correct answer.

Option B is incorrect as the apostrophe should be in between the noun and the letter s. Here, it is after the letter 's'.

Option C is incorrect as it is not in the possessive case. Note that the apostrophe followed by letter s is missing.

Option D is incorrect as the word tooth is in singular form. This is different from the word- teeth given in the bracket.
