Question

Select the correctly capitalized and punctuated sentence.

The women’s voices reached their mothers-in-law.
The womens’ voices reached their mothers-in-law.

Answer 1

"The women’s voices reached their mothers-in-law." is correct.

Explanation: "women" is an irregular plural whose possessive is "women’s" (apostrophe before the s). The plural of "mother-in-law" is "mothers-in-law," which is correctly hyphenated.
