To solve this problem, we need to determine whether to use
whose or
who's in each sentence. Here's a breakdown of the rules:
-
Whose: Used as a possessive pronoun to show ownership (e.g., "Whose book is this?").
-
Who's: A contraction of "who is" or "who has" (e.g., "Who's coming to the party?").
Now, let's analyze each sentence and fill in the blanks accordingly:
