Explanation
Select a suitable option to combine the given nouns:
The jacket / that man _____
Apostrophe after the noun and before 's' indicates that the noun which has the apostrophe owns the following noun. Apostrophe is used after 's' if the noun is plural or ends with an s. Here, the noun is singular (man). Therefore, the correct option is Option A - That man's jacket.
Select the suitable option to join the following nouns:
The mother / Ann
Apostrophe after noun and before 's' indicates that the noun which has apostrophe owns the following noun. Apostrophe is used after 's' if the noun is plural or ends with an s. Here, the noun is singular (Ann). Therefore, the correct option is: Ann's mother.
In the given sentence, the first thing we need to take note of is capitalizing the first letter of the sentence i.e. P (Please). We use a question mark for an interrogative sentence and a full stop for an imperative sentence that emphasizes a request. The given sentence conveys a request, therefore, we should use a full stop at the end of the sentence. Also, the first letter of ‘sir’ need not be in uppercase since it is not a proper noun. Therefore options A and C are incorrect. Further, a comma is used to indicate the separation of ideas or elements and to differentiate the different parts of a sentence, thereby avoid confusion while reading. In the given sentence, a comma needs to be placed after ‘Please’ since it is the introductory phrase; hence it needs to be set off from the main clause. Similarly, we should place a comma before ‘sir’ to indicate who the request is addressed to, thereby avoid misreading or confusion. Therefore option B is correct, while option D is incorrect.
