Identify Noun : Do you know where Marissa’s house is? A: house B: know C: you D: Marissa’s

Question

Im little confused what is the correct answer ? because that website showed answer is A : House. but D : Mariss'a is noun are not ?

Answer 1

Great answer, Marianne. Another way to explain how Marissa affects the sentence would be to substitute 'her' for 'Marisa'. Then, one understands that Marisa's house is her house, with Marisa's and her being adjectives. D. would have been Marissa's or her.

Answer 2

Yes Sid,

Possessive nouns show ownership. Usually they would stand alone .In this sentence , it is an adjective to modify the noun.

Here, "Marissa"is a possessive noun letting you know that the noun"house" belongs to Marissa.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

I suppose in such cases the student should choose the most obvious answer. "House" here is definitely a noun:)
