謝謝你的解說
本題的原文出處是使用單數 mother
但根據引用peu這本書的用法 似乎應該用mothers
這是讓我困惑的地方
所引用的peu的例句是後接複數名詞
一般來說常見所有格的概念是
共同所有: 不同的複數名詞的所有格後接共同所有物(可接單/複數)
John and Marry are married. They are very rich and
they own many houses. / and they have a big house.
個別所有: 不同的複數名詞的所有格後接個別所有物(可接單/複數)
Mosr students in Taiwan need to study a lot.
In their book bags, they carry many books.
While taking an exame, students will be asked to put
1.) his or her book bag
2.) their book bag
3.) their book bags
in the back of the classroom.
這題好像13可以 2反而怪怪的

: 所以如果用單數，變成全部的猩猩都只有一個媽媽（主詞為複數代稱全體），這不可能。
: 所以應該選複數。國中課文康軒第二冊第八課閱讀篇也有一個句子：
