Question : Select the most appropriate option to substitute the bracketed segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'no substitution required'.
The government appears (to be at war with it's own people.)
Option 1: to be on war with it's own people
Option 2: to be at war against it's own people
Option 3: No substitution required
Option 4: to be at war with its own people
Correct Answer: to be at war with its own people
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
The word "it's" in the original sentence is not a possessive pronoun. This is the contraction of "it is" or "it has". It should be replaced with the correct possessive pronoun, "its".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The government appears to be at war with its own people ."
