In 1-2 sentences, explain how to use an apostrophe to show possession for singular and plural nouns and to form contractions.

Answer:what kinda middle school work is this bro anyways hope this helps

Explanation:

In very specific situations, the apostrophe is used to replace missing letters in contractions, to show the possessive form of some nouns, and to make the plural of some words. 1. To indicate missing letters in words or missing numbers in a year, use an apostrophe in a contraction.

2. Use an apostrophe in the possessive form of a noun to indicate ownership. To show ownership, add apostrophe + s to the end of a word, with one exception: To show ownership with a plural noun already ending in s add only the apostrophe.

In quite certain circumstances, the apostrophe  is utilized to supplant missing letters in constrictions, to show the possessive type of certain things, and to make the plural of certain words.

Uses of apostrophe are:

The basic guideline is that the possessive of a solitary thing is shaped by adding a punctuation apostrophe and s, whether or not the particular thing closes in s.

The possessive of a plural thing is framed by adding just a punctuation when the thing closes in s, and by adding both a punctuation and s when it closes in a letter other than s.

The Automobile and Its Impact

For most Americans, not a day goes by that they are not affected by cars. The automobile has had more of an impact on American life than any other mode of transportation. The automobile has changed where people live, how people work, and how people view one another.

In the early 20th century, people who worked in cities had to live in those cities. People lived in crowded apartments with very little room for their families. When the automobile became available to the masses, people were able to move outside of cities to live. The automobile is what led to the growth and development of the suburbs. People began building homes on the outskirts of cities. Soon these places became communities with roads, police stations, and restaurants. This helped create jobs in those areas. People could choose whether they wanted to drive their car to work in the city or closer to home. Either way, this choice and way of life would not be possible without the automobile.

Cities were not the only areas affected by cars. The invention of the automobile helped increase farm production and distribution. Before the invention of the car, farmers used horses to travel. They were limited to only traveling 15–20 miles. Now, with cars and later trucks, farmers could deliver their products many miles away. This meant that more people could buy their products, and the farmer could earn more money. This also meant that people could enjoy produce that was not locally grown. Cars did not only have positive impacts on American society. The invention of the car created a new class system for Americans. In the early 20th century, only the wealthy were able to own cars. Over time, cars became status symbols. Some cars were created simply as a symbol of wealth and class. That is still the case today. Cars have also created more pollution. The gasoline that cars need to run has negatively affected the air. The more cars there are, the more polluted the air becomes.

The invention of the car has changed how people live in both positive and negative ways. This cannot be said for any other mode of transportation. Although ships and planes have made travel more convenient, they have not impacted a person's everyday life in the same way as cars.

Read the article "Overcoming Difficulties: How Helen Keller Learned to Communicate" and answer the question.

Every day, millions of people worldwide use their mouths to speak, their ears to hear, and their eyes to see. However, not all people have those abilities. Some are born without the ability to speak, see, or hear. Others lose one or all of these abilities due to illness or accident. Not being able to communicate can be a major obstacle, but people who overcome these challenges are often determined, resourceful, and dedicated to helping others. Instead, people who have to overcome these challenges are often determined, resourceful, and dedicated to helping others.

A Great Teacher

One person who did not allow her disability to limit her was Helen Keller. Keller, who became blind and deaf at the age of one and a half due to illness, learned at a very young age that her life was going to be different. As a child in the late 1800s, she did not have access to the technology we have today that assists people with disabilities in their daily lives. Instead, she had a very dedicated and creative teacher who stuck with Keller throughout her life. This teacher's name was Anne Sullivan. As a result of Sullivan's dedication and Keller's own determination, she learned when many thought she could not.

Learning How to Communicate

Sullivan helped her learn to communicate by using the resources and abilities Keller did have. Keller could touch, taste, and smell. Sullivan taught her to associate hand movements with words. She would spell words on Keller's hand while having her touch the related object. By associating a physical object with the hand movements, Helen learned the meaning of countless words. Learning to speak was tackled in a similar way. By feeling lips as they moved, Keller learned how to use her lips to form words. Using such innovative techniques and the resources available to her opened whole new worlds for Keller's learning. Sullivan encouraged and mentored Keller, never letting her give up and always believing the best for her.

An Inspiration to Others

Another way Keller learned to communicate was through writing. As an adult, she attended Radcliffe College, which allowed her to advance her education, even though many people doubted her ability to be successful. While she was there, she wrote her autobiography, which told the world about her struggles and accomplishments. She was able to share her story through Braille, a form of writing using raised dots felt with the fingers. Throughout her entire college career, Anne Sullivan was beside her, encouraging Keller and interpreting the words she could not see and the sounds she could not hear. Helen Keller's perseverance and Anne Sullivan's dedication became an inspiration for many children and adults around the world.

Helen Keller went on to be a successful author and teacher. She became a mentor to other children and adults living with disabilities. To this day, Keller is remembered for her determination, resourcefulness, and dedication that helped her to overcome obstacles and inspire others.

Which details best support the claim that Keller learned to communicate successfully?

A She eventually became a traveling motivational speaker.
B She went to college and wrote her own autobiography.
C She helped to develop modern American Sign Language.
D She was a favorite playmate among the neighbor children.

Students should not have to wear uniforms because they need to be able to express themselves. According to the text, "Clothing choices are a crucial form of self-expression. Allowing students to choose their clothing is an empowering message from the schools that a student is a maturing person who is entitled to the most basic self-determination."

a. This shows that clothing choices are a crucial form of self-expression. This proves that students should have to wear uniforms because they need to be able to express themselves to mature and be entitled. Students need to be able to be themselves and pick out their own clothes and wear what they want to wear.

b. This shows that when students can choose their own clothes, they are empowered to be themselves. This proves that students should not have to wear uniforms because by expressing themselves, students can feel comfortable and strive for success without having to worry about what they are wearing.

c. This shows that students need to express themselves and choose their own clothes. This proves students should not wear uniforms.

d. This is important because students need to express themselves to fulfill their most basic needs and they won't feel motivated or attempt to be successful without it.

LITERARY ANALYSIS: Where are you from? seems like a question with an obvious answer, but the answer is clearly more complicated according to the essay's author, Naomi Sepiso. How does Sepiso respond to this question? What supporting evidence does she include to develop her controlling idea? Write a RACECECE response in which you are using 3 pieces of evidence from the essay to support your analysis.


story: ‘So where are you from?’ They always asked that question; a subtle reminder that she was not one of them.


‘What do you mean?’ she asked. They only asked that question when they were afraid of placing her into a box. As though they were giving her the option of which box she wanted to climb into.


‘Well… you’re obviously not from here… I mean… you live here, but where are you from… like, originally?’


There it was. Originally. The word suggesting that she cannot validate her sense of belonging to this place. The implication being that her ‘exotic’ genetic makeup excludes her from her right to belong to this land.


She gave the long pre-rehearsed answer they often dug for. They love a good story. She told them where her mother came from, where her father came from. She told them how her parents met in a land far from their own where she was born. She told them of how they moved around from town to town and across the ocean to a place that sometimes felt like ‘home’. They smiled. Happy endings always leave a crowd feeling good.


What she doesn’t tell them is how she feels her pre-rehearsed response drag up her throat, as though she didn’t pick the right words from those that whirl at the bottom of her stomach in response. She doesn’t tell them that being born out of her mother’s country makes her a foreigner to a land she could have called home. Or that her official documents are marked with the Coat of Arms of a land she never felt safe in. That she cannot have conversations with the grandparents she has not seen in years because her tongue will always stumble over the nuances of languages that never fit quite right.


Sometimes she felt tired of being watered down to belonging to a foreign location on a map. To being a friend that made someone else a little more ‘cultured’ by simple association. As though everything else she had to offer became lacking in value every time someone asked her the question.


She was not someone from a place. She made a home of kind words and warm feelings. Her soul became a safe nest deep inside the confines of her body.


‘What is the value of a land I come from. We are all of this land. We came the same way and we leave the same way.’ By the time the words fought their way out of her mouth everyone else had moved on.


One day they would come to understand, she thought. She was not the land of her mother and father. She was her own country, with her own history of civil wars, revolutions, healing and growth. One day they would learn to keep their boxes away from her. One day they would see that she will never, ever, fit.

Read the following excerpt from Susan B. Anthony's speech "On Women's Right to Vote" and think about the persuasive methods Anthony uses.
It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot.

appeals to reason and appeals to ethics
appeals to reason and counterarguments
