Task Explanation:
The task involves completing sentences by writing the
possessive form of the nouns in parentheses. The possessive form shows ownership or belonging. To form the possessive form of a noun, you generally add an apostrophe and an "s" (`'s`) to the noun. If the noun is plural and already ends in "s," you just add an apostrophe (`'`).
