[Video] Q41: No change or museum’s facilities or museum facilities or museums’ facility

Explanation for Question 41 From the Writing Section on the 2020 March Sat

Now for question number 41, our best is going to be B museums facilities. 2 And the reason that this is the best answer is because it has the 3 correct version of the word museums, 4 the possessive version with the apostrophe, and also the correct version of the word 5 facilities. And we should note now than an answer choice B the word museums 6 is singular. So there's one museum and it's possessive, 7 which means that the museum owns the facilities. 8 And then the word facilities is plural, 9 but not possessive possessive. So we're saying that there's multiple facilities that the museum 10 owns, and this should make sense if we look back at our sense, 11 because it says this museums facilities. 12 So by saying this, we know that we're talking about a singular one museum. 13 If we were talking about multiple museums, we would have said these right. 14 T H E S E. 15 But we don't say that that's the plural version, 16 right? But instead we use the singular version. 17 So that is why D is incorrect because the has a plural museums 18 and then a, also has a plural museums. 19 So that's why we can eliminate a and D and then finally looking here 20 between B and C, right? We need to decide, 21 are the facilities belonging to the museums, 22 or do we not want a possessive museum or reading the sentence? 23 We can see that these facilities are the facilities that belong to the museum, 24 right? The museum owns these facilities. 25 And so in order to show that ownership, we have to use a possessive 26 piece of grammar, and that is going to be an apostrophe. 27 So we use an apostrophe to show possession, 28 and that's why I answer choice B is going to be our best answer.
