Question 1 Report

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:
This isn't your ring; it is your............
Answer Details
The word or group of words that best completes the sentence is "daughter-in-law's." In the sentence, the speaker is referring to something that belongs to someone else. The word "your" indicates that the speaker is addressing someone directly. The correct form to indicate possession by a daughter-in-law is "daughter-in-law's." This is a possessive form that shows that the ring belongs to the daughter-in-law. The other options are not correct for this context. "Daughter-in-law" without the possessive form is a noun that refers to a woman who is married to someone's son. "Daughters-in-law" is a plural form of the same noun, indicating that there is more than one daughter-in-law. "Daughter-in-laws" is an incorrect form of the word because "law" is not a plural noun and should not have an "s" added to it.
