• C. This old typewriter's keys do not produce J's clearly.
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

This old typewriter's keys do not produce J's clearly.

According to general rule, the possessive of a singular noun is formed by adding an apostrophe and s, whether the singular noun ends in s or not. Therefore, in the given sentence, the possessive of the word typewriter should be written as 'typewriter's'.

The possessive is seldom used to form a plural noun. Thus, the plural of key and J can be written as 'key's' and 'J's' respectively.

Therefore, according to the rule, the correct answer will be Option C.
