Know the Answer?

Ally Johnston · Answer 1

Answer: D.

Explanation: It is not A because set refers to an object that has been placed down, and sat it the past tense of sit. The boy set down a Pokemon card, which is an object.

It is not B because the apostrophe is showing ownership, and in this case the boy's friend owns the Pokemon card.

It isn't C because Pokemon is a proper noun as it is the name of a franchise.
