Accepted Answer

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

Correct answer: D) The Browns' apartment is on the 2nd floor. The Browns means the Brown family; the apostrophe after the plural s shows possession. In A, B, C and E, the apostrophe is used in a contraction.

Перевод: Квартира семьи Браун находится на втором этаже. Вариант D верен: the Browns означает семью Браунов, а апостроф после s указывает на принадлежность. В вариантах A, B, C и E апостроф используется в сокращениях.
