They Did It Correctly! Extra Credit

Why is Ms. Dorsey proud of NPR for publishing this sentence?


  1. What is the subject of the sentence?
  2. What is the simple predicate (verb) of this sentence? 
  3. Why is "its" the correct choice? 
  4. Why is "trucks' " the correct choice?  

Here is the sentence:

The movie star known as the "muscles from Brussels" helps Volvo show off its trucks' steering.


By the way, I liked the commercial, too!
