Hi Augie, greetings from Venezuela!!
Regarding your question from March 17, I would like to comment that neither the question nor any of the answer options are right: The question is wrong because the bakery or the baker's is hardly referred to as "your" bakery except, perhaps, in an advertisement. a) refers to the person who runs the bakery; b) refers to the possessive of the plural of baker; c) is totally extraterrestrial and should not even be considered; and d) refers to the plural of baker, as in a)
A baker is a person who bakes bread, among other things, and not a place. The place is called a bakery or the baker's. Hope this helps…

I read in some books "he resumed his job at the bakers", etc. but I never read > bakers'< except in the dictionaries. By the way, the key answer was b), and I am trying to prove that if, according to my teacher, b) is correct then a) and d) are correct too.
