Question 1 of 5
Because of all your running around, their clients are confused about who's in charge, and the company is losing its competitive edge. Which contraction should be used to correct the error?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct contraction to use in this sentence is 'who's,' which is short for 'who is.' In the given context, 'who's' indicates the correct possessive form, clarifying that the clients are confused about who is in charge.
Choice B, 'Whos,' is incorrect as it does not use an apostrophe to indicate the omitted letter.
