Question 22

Envelope's is used incorrectly in the sentence.

The term "Envelope's" suggests possession, indicating that something belongs to the envelope, which doesn't align with the context of the sentence. Instead, the correct form should be "envelopes," referring to multiple items without implying possession.

A) Every

The word "Every" is used correctly in the context of the sentence. It is appropriate for indicating each individual mailbox on the block, emphasizing that the mailperson serves all mailboxes.

B) Block

The term "Block" is correctly used in the sentence to refer to a specific section of a neighborhood. It appropriately describes the area where the mailperson is expected to deliver the mail.

C) Envelope's

"Envelope's" is incorrect because it indicates possession. The sentence does not imply that the envelopes own anything; it simply refers to the envelopes being delivered by the mailperson. The correct term should be "envelopes" to denote multiple items without possession.

D) Mail carrier's

"Mail carrier's" is used correctly in the sentence. It appropriately refers to the individual responsible for delivering the mail, serving as a synonymous term for "mailperson."

Conclusion

The term "Envelope's" is definitively incorrect in the given sentence as it improperly suggests possession instead of plurality. All other options are used correctly in their respective contexts, reinforcing the importance of proper word choice for clarity in communication.
