Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) An adjective is a word that modifies a noun or a pronoun. The word silent modifies the noun movie, telling you what kind of movie you have, i.e., a silent movie.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Apostrophes are used for all possessives except possessive pronouns. Possessive pronouns never take apostrophes to show ownership. So its equals the possessive form, not it's.
