Answer: The word, students, is missing an apostrophe at the end due to its plural possessive noun.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the sentence,

  • “The students homework was too difficult for many to complete correctly.”

it is missing an apostrophe after the s in the word, "students", representing the plural possessive noun in the sentence.

Plural possessive noun is a noun that is plural and used to represent the ownership of something.

  • If the sentence had a plural word that didn't end with an s, you would have added an 's
  • Since the sentence has a plural word that ends in s, you only add an apostrophe, ', after the word.
