Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option A should be "Their grades were posted online in the student section of the online course site", using "their" as a possessive adjective for "grades". Option B should be "The two lost dogs reported in the student paper were his and mine", using "mine" without an "s" as a possessive adjective for "dog" because it's singular. Option D should be "The Smith family reunion is always held over Labor Day weekend, so it is difficult for me to travel there", without an apostrophe in "Smith family" and using "there" to indicate a location. Option C correctly uses "our" as a possessive adjective for "neighbors" and "theirs" as a possessive pronoun indicating ownership of the choice.
