The two sister’s gift to the charitys’ drive was a pile of hand-sewn childrens’ clothing. C. The two sister’s gift to the charity’s drive was a pile of hand-sewn children’s clothing. D. The two sisters gift to the charitys’ drive was a pile of hand-sewn childrens’ clothing.

Answer 1

the answer would be choice A. because of how at the end of the sentence the words children's and clothing are switched which makes it out of context

Answer 2

Answer:

A

Explanation:

 The sentence in option A uses possessive/ genitive case correctly. The first noun sisters is plural ending in s , so it is correct to use a simple apostrophe ( ' ) after the noun. Charity is a singular noun: addind 's  is correct. Children  is a plural noun not ending in s , so it is correct to form the possessive by adding the apostrophe and the s ('s) to it.
