Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was natalies first movie?

Answer: I

Natalie in this sentence is possessive- we are talking about her first movie. Possessive nouns need an apostrophe. Thus it should be Natalie's.

2. What is Howie's full name?

Answer: C

In this case, the possessive apostrophe is used correctly.

3. The first messenger brought the new of who's death?

Answer: I

The only proper use of 'who's' is to signify 'who is.' The proper word here would be 'whose.'

4. What is Bayside's mascot?

Answer: C

Again, this is a possessive.

5. Which of the following planets days is much longer than Earths?

Answer: I

'Planet' is a possessive. 'Days', however, is just a straight plural. Thus, the phrase should be 'planet's days.' The last word should be 'Earth's.'

6. Newton's second law relates to what force?

Answer: C

Another possessive.

7. Because you dont get a second chance to make a first impression?

Answer: I

'Dont' should be 'don't'. As a contraction of 'do not', it needs an apostrophe to signify the missing letters.

8. Richard Owen coined the term and was the worlds foremost authority on vertebrate paleontology at the time.

Answer: I

It should be 'world's'.

9. What are Doug's 2 kid's names?

Answer: I

Since there are 2 kids, it is a plural. The proper use would be 'Doug's 2 kids' names'

10. What two words does Steve use when describing his notebook?

Answer: C

'Words' is just a straight plural. Plurals do not need apostrophes.
