writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
monkeys
B
monkey's
C
monkeys'
D
monkeys's
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The context implies a habitat for a group of monkeys. The possessive of the plural "monkeys" is "monkeys'." (Choice B "monkey's" would refer to a single monkey, which is less logical for a general statement about habitat threat, though C is the standard plural usage for species groups).
