Question 19

Envelope's is used incorrectly in the sentence.

The phrase "envelope's" is incorrectly used in the sentence as it implies possession, which is not appropriate in this context. The correct term should be "envelopes" to refer to multiple items.

A) Envelope's

This option is incorrect because "envelope's" denotes possession, implying something belonging to an envelope. In the context of the sentence, it should refer to multiple envelopes, thus requiring the plural form "envelopes."

B) Mailperson's

This option is correct in its usage as it appropriately indicates the job belonging to the mailperson. The term "mailperson's" accurately reflects the possessive form relating to the individual performing the job.

C) Block

The term "block" is used correctly in the sentence. It refers to a specific area where the mailperson delivers mail, and there is no grammatical error in its usage.

D) Every

The word "every" is used correctly in the sentence. It appropriately modifies "mailbox," indicating that all mailboxes on the block are included in the mailperson's duties.

Conclusion

In summary, "envelope's" is the only option that is used incorrectly, as it suggests possession rather than plurality. All other options are appropriately used within the context of the sentence, reinforcing why they do not represent errors. Thus, "envelopes" should be used instead to convey the intended meaning accurately.
