Question

Fix the one plural or possessive error.

Los Angeles is notorious for its terrible traffic. However, the city's public
transit system was actually ranked third in the nation in 2011, a year
in which approximately 1.5 million commuter's took buses and trains
to work.

Answer 1

The plural error in the given sentence is the use of the apostrophe in 'commuter's'. The correct form should be 'commuters' without an apostrophe, as it indicates the plural form of the word. So the corrected sentence would be: 'a year in which approximately 1.5 million commuters took buses and trains to work.'

Answer 2

commuter's should be changed to commuters

Step-by-step explanation:

When an apostrophe is used, it means that the subject has possession over something. In this particular sentence, the commuters do not possess the buses and trains in the ending part of the sentence. Therefore, there is no need for the apostrophe.
