Practice Question

Because of all your running around, their clients are confused about whose in charge, and the company is losing its competitive edge. Which of the following contractions should be used to correct the error in the sentence above?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

who's

Rationale:

📌The error in the sentence is the use of "whose", which is a possessive pronoun.

🔠The context calls for “who’s”, a contraction for “who is,” making it the grammatically correct choice.

📝“Who’s in charge” makes logical sense, as the sentence refers to who is leading.

📎Using the wrong form alters the meaning and results in a grammar error, especially in professional writing.

📌Core Message

"Who's" (contraction of "who is") fits the sentence structure and meaning correctly, unlike the possessive "whose."
