What correction is necessary for the following phrase: 'several womens' claims'?

  1. several women claims

  2. several woman claims

  3. several women's claims

  4. several women's claim

The correct answer is: several women's claims

The phrase 'several womens' claims' contains an incorrect pluralization of the word "woman." The correct plural form of "woman" is "women," and when indicating possession for multiple women, the correct possessive form is "women's." Therefore, the phrase should be rewritten as "several women's claims." This structure correctly uses the plural form "women" to refer to multiple individuals, and the possessive form "women's" effectively conveys that the claims belong to these women. This ensures clarity in meaning while adhering to grammatical rules regarding plural nouns and possessive constructs.
