O caso genitivo ou genitive case é utilizado no inglês para estabelecer uma relação de posse entre os termos da oração. Para estabelecer essa relação se usa o 's (apostrophe s) após a pessoa que possui ou tem a relação de posse com o algo. Porém quando se tem termos que a palavra termina em s adicionamos apenas o '.
Para fazer a questão, invertemos a ordem dos termos e depois colocamos o 's ou '. Vamos para as respostas.
