Question 8

All of the women's things were lost at sea.

The sentence correctly uses the apostrophe to indicate possession, showing that the things belong to multiple women.

A) Our home's roof needs repairing.

This sentence incorrectly uses the apostrophe to indicate possession of the roof by the home. While it is grammatically correct, the question specifically asks for the best example of correct apostrophe usage, and the focus on plurality in option B makes it the superior choice.

B) All of the women's things were lost at sea.

This sentence rightly uses the apostrophe to denote that the things belong to more than one woman, effectively demonstrating the correct plural possessive form. It clearly meets the criteria for proper apostrophe usage.

C) There are many parks located across the country.

This sentence does not contain any apostrophes, making it irrelevant to the question of correct apostrophe usage. As such, it cannot be considered a correct option.

D) My grandparents' families are coming to town for a visit.

While this sentence correctly uses the apostrophe to show possession for multiple grandparents, it does not exemplify the best case of apostrophe usage as the plurality of "women" in option B is more specific and relevant to the question.

Conclusion

Option B is definitively correct as it effectively illustrates the use of apostrophes in indicating plural possession, which is the core concept being tested. Meanwhile, options A, C, and D, although some are correct in their own right, do not present the best demonstration of apostrophe usage in relation to the question asked.
