Practice Question

Which of the following is the best version of the underlined portion of sentence 12 (reproduced below)? Cavendish bananas might appear to be strong, with its thick skins and ability to be shipped long distances without rotting or even bruising.

Answer Choices

  • A: (as it is now)
  • B: its'
  • C: their
  • D: there

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'their' because 'bananas' is plural, requiring the plural possessive 'their.' Option A uses incorrect singular 'its,' B is an incorrect possessive form, and D is a homophone irrelevant to possession.
