Task Explanation:
The task requires you to write the possessive form of the underlined word in each sentence by adding an apostrophe (`'`) and, if necessary, an `s`. The rules for forming possessives are as follows:
1.
For singular nouns: Add `'s` (e.g., "cat" becomes "cat's").
2.
For plural nouns ending in `s`: Add only `'` (e.g., "women" becomes "women's").
3.
For plural nouns not ending in `s`: Add `'s` (e.g., "children" becomes "children's").
