Can someone help with this?


The kitten hurt ---------paw when it fell off the roof.
1) it
2) it's
3) its
4) its'

The answer given in the assessment bk is number 3 - its.

I thought the answer should be it's?

Thanks.

Yes, answer shd be \"its\". \"it's\" is the short form for it iS.

one question for thought


William is one of the most ____________ tennis players in the world. He has never lost in any game before.

1) incredible
2) invincible
3) inconsiderate
4) independent

[mother777]

is it invincible? as nobody beat him in the game so far??

[hquek]

agree it’s ‘invincible’ although the sentence sounds weird to me.

[X_ist]

yeah, the answer given is invincible


however, i think that an argument can be made for incredible?

because, invincible means cannot be beaten, has not lost does not mean that he will not lose right?

and do we use most with invincible? is there a more or less invincible?

\"The children put on / put up a great show at the concert.\"

Both sound ok to me... :scratchhead:

I think it's \"put up\".

\"put on\" sounds like \"put on your sweater\" or \"put on some weight\".

My 1st choice is also \"put up\"... but is \"put on\" really wrong?

Another question is also... \"put on a show\" actually means \"pretend\"... so is it right to say \"put on a great show\"?.... :?

[ammonite]

Yes, put up is the correct answer.


‘Put on’ a great show changes the meaning of the sentence.
