writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
brother's
B
sister's
C
cousins'
D
mentors
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The sentence refers to "her visit," indicating the subject is female and singular. Therefore, "sister's" creates a logical link to the feminine pronoun.
Choice A is incorrect because "brother" indicates a male, which disagrees with the pronoun "her." Choice C is incorrect because "cousins'" is plural. Choice D is incorrect because "mentors" is plural and lacks possessive punctuation contextually.
