Show Hint
- For John as well as for Rico
- For John's as well as for Rico's sake
- In John as well as for Rico's sake
- For John and Rico's sake
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The noun "sake" belongs to both John and Rico, so each name needs the possessive apostrophe: "John's" and "Rico's". Both possessives then share the single word "sake".
- For John's as well as for Rico's sake is correct because both names take the possessive before "sake".
- For John as well as for Rico is wrong because it drops "sake" and the possessives entirely.
- In John as well as for Rico's sake is wrong because "In" is the wrong preposition and "John" is left non-possessive.
- For John and Rico's sake is wrong here because "John" still lacks its own possessive form to match the parallel "as well as" structure.
The correct sentence is "For John's as well as for Rico's sake I did this."
