Task Overview:
The task involves identifying the correct possessive noun forms for various scenarios depicted in images. Possessive nouns are used to show ownership or possession. The rules for forming possessive nouns are as follows:
1.
For singular nouns: Add an apostrophe and an "s" (e.g., dog's, baby's).
2.
For plural nouns ending in "s": Add only an apostrophe (e.g., dogs', babies').
3.
For plural nouns not ending in "s": Add an apostrophe and an "s" (e.g., children's).
