Which word correctly completes the sentence?

"All around the attic we found many __________ nests."

A. mices
B. mices'
C. mice's

Mice's. In this case the answer needs to indicate that around the attic were many nests that belong to the mice. The rule of thumb here is to add an apostrophe and and 's' at the end of the noun. Therefore the possessive form mice's described that the many nests(plural) belonged to the mice. Mices' would be incorrect because it would suggest that mices is the plural and adding the apostrophe would make it possessive.

The answer is choice B. because it correctly uses the apostrophe after the s. Choice A. & C. don't use the correct form of mice making those choices false. **

The correct word to complete the sentence is C. mice's, which shows that the nests belong to the mice. 'Mices' is not a valid word, and 'mices'' is not proper as it would imply a possessive form of a non-existent plural. Thus, the correct form for showing possession with the plural 'mice' is 'mice's.'
