I noticed that the apostrophe was missing, so I went to keyboard mode and answered . It was marked as incorrect.

Wouldn't the word dress be plural? The girls's dresses? They don't all share one dress do they?

Shouldn't it be dresses? They don't all share the one dress. so if it is girls' and not girl's the dress should be plural.

And the scenario is very plausible - my daughter and her friends used to share party dresses as they couldn't possibly wear the same dress for every party and couldn't afford to buy a new dress each time.
The sentence clearly says:The girls--> plural and "dress"-->singular.
These are not stories we are writing but sentences to recognize the various features of vocabulary and grammar.
Here it was necessary to see what was singular and what was plural. And if it was a surprise then all the better to learn it and be careful.
