Question

the following sentence was taken from an act english section. choose the option that best e standard written english, or is worded most consistently with the style and tone of the sentence
o change.\ the rambunctious puppy left its toys scattered all over the yard. ○ no change ○ its ○ its ○ it has

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the possessive form. "Its" is the possessive pronoun for "it" (no apostrophe, as "it's" means "it is"). The original "its'" is incorrect. "Its" correctly shows the puppy's ownership of the toys. "It's" would mean "it is", which doesn't fit, and "it has" is also incorrect contextually.

Answer:

B. its (assuming the option with "its" is labeled as such; if the options are lettered, e.g., if "its" is option B, then B. its)
