Question

Each sentence below contains two apostrophes. Which sentence gives an example of an apostrophe used to show possession, as well as one that is used as a contraction?

A. It's Howard's fault.
B. I can't say whether it's hers.
C. Lady's slippers were under Carol's bed.
D. Let's see whom we'll call on next.

Answer 1

Sentences which show possession:
A. It's Howard's fault.
C. Lady's slippers were under Carol's bed.

Contraction:
B. I can't (can not) say whether it's (it is) hers.
D. Let's (let us) see whom we'll (we will) call on next.

Although (A) can also show contraction since It's is "It is", but I'm basing my answer on the main thought of each sentence.
