Answer 2

The city's new mayor seems ready to make some big changes.

Explanation:

Option D is the correct answer.

• Option A is incorrect since there is no such word as "citys" because the plural of a city is cities.
• Option B is incorrect because we are talking about the mayor of the city and not about the city called 'new mayor'.

• Option C is incorrect as there is no need for plural in the first place and secondarily, we are talking about the new mayor and "not" the cities.
• Option D is correct because the subject is "new mayor" i.e. the city's new mayor.
