readingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
Frank Lloyd Wrights
B
Frank Lloyd Wright's
C
Frank Lloyd Wrights'
D
Frank Lloyd Wright
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. This question tests apostrophe usage with singular proper nouns.
- Context clues: One person (Frank Lloyd Wright) possesses the influence.
- Meaning: Add 's to singular proper nouns to show possession.
- Verify: "Frank Lloyd Wright's influence" correctly shows singular possession.
💡 Strategy: For singular proper nouns, add 's to show possession, regardless of ending letters.
Choice A is incorrect because it lacks the apostrophe for possession. Choice C is incorrect because "Wrights'" implies multiple people named Wright. Choice D is incorrect because it lacks any possessive marker.
