1 Question 1 of 6

1. So the Government instead tries hand at a different game.

✅ Correct! "Its" is possessive. "It's" is a contraction of "it is," and "its'" is never grammatically correct.

2. pleas were ignored.

✅ Correct! "Their" is possessive. "They're" is a contraction of "they are," and "there" indicates a place or position.

3. The court ordered the return of laptops.

✅ Correct! Both had a laptop, so both names are possessive.

4. Under that approach, courts look to "the elements of the statute of conviction, not to the facts of each conduct."

✅ Correct! "Each" makes "defendant" singular, and the apostrophe-plus-"s" makes it possessive.

5. The policy limited all ability to opt out.

✅ Correct! "All" means "client" should be the plural "clients," plus the apostrophe at the end shows possession.

6. In short, incentives are stacked to enhance the risk of dirty dealing.

✅ Correct! "Everyone" is singular, so just add the apostrophe-plus-"s".
