Answer 1

The correct sentences are 1 and 5.

- Sentence 1: "I don’t think it’s that hard to read a whole book in one week if it’s a good book." ("it's" = "it is" correctly)
- Sentence 5: "The tortoise moved its body at a tedious pace, lifting its short legs slowly." ("its" used correctly as a possessive)

Reminder: "it's" = "it is" or "it has"; "its" = possessive.
