Explanation:

- The apostrophe + 's is used to show possession (ownership).
- Whether the noun is singular or plural, we generally add ’s to show ownership.
- Even if the noun ends in s, we still usually add ’s for clarity and correctness in most cases (e.g., *James’s book*).

So, every blank should be filled with the noun followed by ’s.
