Cevap:Swedish artist Hilma af Klint is now recognized as a pioneer of abstract art, having created non-representational paintings years before her male contemporaries.

Today, art historians are reevaluating the 【artist's】 legacy, acknowledging that her bold compositions redefined the boundaries of modern art.

Cevap

artist's
The singular possessive noun 'artist's' is correct because the context refers to a single person (Hilma af Klint, as signaled by the singular possessive pronoun 'her') and shows ownership over the noun 'legacy.'

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the number of the noun based on context clues.
The passage refers to a single individual, Hilma af Klint, and mentions 'her male contemporaries' and 'her bold compositions.' Thus, the singular form of 'artist' is required.
Singular pronouns like 'her' indicate that the noun refers to one person.
2
Analyze the grammatical case needed for the noun.
The noun modifies 'legacy' and shows ownership (the legacy of the artist), meaning the possessive case is required.
A noun preceding and modifying another noun to show ownership must be in the possessive case.
3
Form the singular possessive noun.
Adding an apostrophe and an 's' to the singular noun 'artist' yields 'artist's'.
Singular possessive nouns are formed by adding "'s" to the base singular noun.
