7671. Identify the errors and choose the correct option:

Moderate
  • A. Guliver travels was written to Swift.
  • B. Guliver travels was written at Swift.
  • C. Guliver's Travels was written by Swift.
  • D. Gulivers' Travel was written by Swift.

Explanation: Option A and Option B are incorrect since the apostrophe + 's' ('s) is absent which is needed after the noun "Gulliver" to indicate the possessive nature of the travels (i.e. to indicates that the travels were of Gulliver). Since Gulliver had more than one travel in the story, the word should be "Travels" and not "Travel". Hence, Option D is incorrect, and Option C is correct.

Correct answer: Guliver's Travels was written by Swift.
