He is worried about his two pet birds' refusal to eat.
Or
He is worried about his two pet birds which refused to eat. (Caroline's answer)[/quote]I understand that the question is:
My two pet birds refused to eat. I am worried.
________________about two my pet birds'_________
Which answer is correct:
a) I am worried about my two pet birds’ refusals to eat.
or
b) I am worried about my two pet birds' refusal to eat.
Should there a \"s' for refusal since it refers to two birds? -
refusal. It does not depend on the no. of birds.
-
side-track a bit…for synthesis marking scheme, is it you either get 2 marks or 0 ? I see the way my son’s teacher marks, even the slightest spelling mistake he will get 0 marks, never 0.5 or 1.5 marks.
-
yes strictly 0 or 2 marks. Cannot have spelling or grammar or tenses mistake.
