Question

choose the correct form of its—with or without an apostrophe—for this sentence.
a loud hissing sound came from aniket’s bike when ____ back tire ran over a nail.
choose 1 answer.
a its
b its

Explanation:

The sentence requires a possessive pronoun to show that the back tire belongs to the bike. "Its" is the possessive form of "it", while "it's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has", which does not fit the context here.

Answer:

B. its
