Explanation:

Question 26

To determine the correct sentence, we analyze the usage of "whose" and "who's". "Who's" is a contraction of "who is", while "whose" shows possession. The sentence is asking about the identity of the new teacher, so we need "who is" (contracted as "who's"). Option A uses "whose" incorrectly as it's not about possession here. Option B, "Who's the new teacher that just started this week?", is correct as it uses "who's" (who is) to ask about the person's identity.

We need to distinguish between "whose" (possession) and "who's" (who is). The sentence is about the ownership of the idea, so we need "whose" to show that we are asking about who the idea belongs to. Option B uses "who's" (who is) which is incorrect in this context as it's not about the identity of a person in the sense of "who is" but about possession. Option A, "I wonder whose idea it was to organize the field trip.", is correct as "whose" is used for possession of the idea.

Analyzing "whose" and "who's": "who's" is "who is", and "whose" is for possession. The sentence is about a student who is late, so we need "who is" (contracted as "who's"). Option A uses "whose" incorrectly as it's not about possession. Option B, "The student who's late needs to report to the office.", is correct as "who's" (who is) is used to describe the student who is late.

Answer:

B. Who's the new teacher that just started this week?
