Choose the correctly punctuated sentence:

1. Whats the matter with you
2. What's the matter with you?
3. Whats the matter with you?
4. What's the matter with you

Correct answer: What's the matter with you?

Solution

The contraction of "What is" is "What's," which requires an apostrophe. Since the sentence is interrogative, it must end with a question mark.
