The correct answer is: It's a shame that the books' covers were all torn and tattered.

By following the apostrophe rule the word "it's" will break down into "it is" which will be appropriate in the sentence. Since "books" should be in plural form, you just have to add an apostrophe in the end.

The correct answer is: It's a shame that the books' covers were all torn and tattered.

An apostrophe is used after the "s" at the end of a plural noun to show possession.

Apostrophes have two basic functions; on the one hand, they show possession. On the other hand, indicate letters have been removed to form a contraction.

In this case, the function of the apostrophe is the first one explained. You use an apostrophe + S ('s) to show that one person/thing owns or is a member of something.

Answer from: Quest

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it.

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry.

i hope this !

Answer from: Quest

the answer is:

when will (v) the books (n) be (v) due?

nouns refer to people (other than pronouns), places and things, whereas verbs describe actions and are usually part of the predicate of a sentence. finally, pronouns can work as nouns and identify the participants in speech.

in the example sentence, "will" is a verb part or auxiliary verb, "be" is an infinitive verb and "books" is a plural noun.

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
