Audience's vs. Audiences'
Used in this sentence: "The astonishment and doubt Bianca, Hortensio and the Widow express towards Katherina’s change in attitude is a reflection of the audiences’ inability to fully understand Katherina’s true intentions. "
Audience is a plural noun so would that mean I'd use audiences' with the apostrophe after 's'??? Confused.
