Accepted Answer

Перевод задания: Выберите правильное предложение, в котором существительное употреблено в притяжательном падеже.

Correct answer: E) She needs 8 hours' sleep after hard work. The apostrophe after the plural s shows how long the sleep lasts. In A, C and D, the apostrophe is part of a contraction.

Перевод: После тяжёлой работы ей нужно поспать 8 часов. Вариант E верен: апостроф после окончания множественного числа показывает длительность сна. В вариантах A, C и D апостроф входит в сокращение.
