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.
