Which of the following sentences is grammatically incorrect?
Correct answer: D. Who's jacket is this?
- A. Is this your jacket?
- B. Whose jacket is this?
- C. Is this jacket yours?
- D. Who's jacket is this?
Explanation
Another way to ask this question is to say "To whom does this jacket belong?", so we're talking about possession. "Who's" is a contraction that's short for "who is" or "who has", and it does not show ownership. The corrected form is noted above.

About Error Detection
Error detection requires finding faults in sentence structure, grammar, usage, spelling or punctuation and identifying the correction. The work draws on agreement, tense, pronoun reference, articles, prepositions, modifiers and parallel structure, so the incorrect part must be judged within the complete sentence rather than in isolation.
