Where does the apostrophe (') go in the sentence?
The cats tail was caught in the fence.
The cat's tail was caught in the fence.
The cats' tail was caught in the fence.
Answer explanation
In the question, there is one cat mentioned. Therefore the apostrophe should be placed after 'cat' to show possession, making 'The cat's tail was caught in the fence.' the correct choice. 'The cats' tail was caught in the fence.' would imply there are multiple cats, which is not the case here.

Where does the apostrophe go in the sentence:
Abbys books were scattered all over the floor.
Abbys books were scattered all over the floor.
Abby's books were scattered all over the floor.
Answer explanation
In the sentence, 'Abby's books were scattered all over the floor.' the apostrophe goes after Abby, making it 'Abby's'. This is because the books belong to Abby, which is shown by using the apostrophe to indicate possession. Therefore, 'Abby's books were scattered all over the floor.' is the correct usage.

Where does the apostrophe belong in the sentence:
The lions roar woke up the little baby.
The lions' roar woke up the little baby.
The lion's roar woke up the little baby.
Answer explanation
The correct sentence is 'The lion's roar woke up the little baby.' The apostrophe should be after the lion and before the 's', it implies that the roar belongs to a single lion. The other option places the apostrophe after the 's', which would suggest that the roar belonged to multiple lions, which isn't specified in the question.

Where does the apostrophe belong in the sentence:
Both boys teachers gave homework on Friday.
Both boys' teachers gave homework on Friday.
Both boy's teachers gave homework on Friday.
Answer explanation
The correct answer is: Both boys' teachers gave homework on Friday. This is because the apostrophe after boys' indicates that the teachers belong to both boys. If the apostrophe was after boy, it would mean that the teachers belonged to only one boy, which is not the case here.

Where does the apostrophe belong in the sentence:
We had a great time at Masons house.
We had a great time at Masons' house.
We had a great time at Mason's house.
Answer explanation
The correct placement of the apostrophe in 'Masons house' is 'Mason's house'. This is because the house belongs to Mason, indicating possession. In English, we show possession by adding an apostrophe and an 's' to the end of a singular noun. Therefore, 'Mason's house' is the correct choice.

Where does the apostrophe belong in the sentence:
Isaacs job was to read.
Isaacs' job was to read.
Isaac's job was to read.
Answer explanation
In the question, we need to correct the placement of the apostrophe in Isaac's name. Apostrophes are used in cases of possession. In 'Isaac's job was to read', it signifies that the job belonged to Isaac and hence this is the correct answer.
