Answer to Question 1

D
The correct use of the apostrophe is illustrated by the sentence While writing, you must
always dot your i's and cross your t's. The rule is to use an apostrophe plus s to form plurals
of lowercase letters and lowercase abbreviations.

Answer to Question 2

A
The word that correctly illustrates the plural form of the proper noun Sally is Sallys. The rule
is that if a proper noun ends in y, add s to make it plural.
