Question

Form the possessive case of the noun given in the bracket:
Mr. Thompson walked straight into the ___________ room without knocking the door. (women)

• A. womens
• B. women'
• C. womens'
• D. women's

Answer 1

The correct option is D women'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 women is plural, which does not end in "s". Hence, its possessive case is: women's. Option D is the correct answer.

Option A is not the correct answer as it does not have an apostrophe between "women" and the letter-s to denote possessiveness.

Option B is not the correct answer. While it does have an apostrophe after the word: women, this is not followed by the letter s.

Option C is not the correct answer as the apostrophe is in the end. For plural nouns which do not end in the letter s, the apostrophe should be between the noun and the letter s.
