Explicação
## Step 1The problem asks us to identify the type of the word in bold, which is "delegates'". In English grammar, possessive nouns are used to indicate ownership or association. ## Step 2The word "delegates'" is a plural possessive noun. This is because it is the plural form of the noun "delegate", and it indicates that the noun is associated with more than one person.## Step 3The word "delegates'" is not a singular possessive noun, as it does not indicate ownership by a single person. It is also not a plural noun, as it does not simply represent a group of people without indicating ownership or association.
