The Power of Positivity: Embracing Challenges with a Growth Mindset

Which statement is correct?

A. Jordan and Antonio attended the Joneses wedding.

B. Jordan and Antonio attended the Joneses' wedding.

C. Jordan and Antonio attended the Jones' wedding.

D. Jordan and Antonio attended the Jones's wedding.

Answer:

The correct statement is "Jordan and Antonio attended the Joneses' wedding." The apostrophe is used to show possession or ownership. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

In this case, the wedding belongs to the Joneses, which is a plural noun. When a plural noun ends with an s, we add only an apostrophe after the s to show possession.

Therefore, the apostrophe is added after the s in "Joneses" to indicate that the wedding belongs to them. Option A is incorrect because it implies that there is only one person named Jones, which is not the case.

Option B is correct because the apostrophe is used to show possession or ownership.

Option C is incorrect because it implies that there is only one person named Jones and incorrectly uses an apostrophe to show possession.

Option D is incorrect because it incorrectly adds an extra s after Jones, which is unnecessary since Joneses is already a plural noun.
