    Which of the following sentences is punctuated correctly?

    • The bookstore had to move its collection of children’s books.

    • The bookstore had to move it’s collection of childrens’ books.

    • The bookstore had to move its’ collection of children’s books.

    • The bookstore had to move its’ collection of childrens’ books.

    Correct Answer
    A. The bookstore had to move its collection of children’s books.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The bookstore had to move its collection of children’s books." The sentence correctly uses the possessive form of "its" to indicate that the collection of children's books belongs to the bookstore. The use of "it's" in the other options is incorrect, as "it's" is a contraction for "it is" and does not indicate possession. Additionally, the use of the apostrophe in "childrens'" in the other options is also incorrect, as the possessive form of "children" should be "children's."

    • When Yoshiro saw the beautiful cabin by the lake, he was happy too.

    Correct Answer
    A. When Yoshiro saw the beautiful cabin, by the lake, he was happy too.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "When Yoshiro saw the beautiful cabin, by the lake, he was happy too." This sentence is punctuated correctly because it uses commas to set off the phrase "by the lake" as an interrupter. The commas indicate that the phrase is providing additional information about the location of the cabin.
