The royal secretary is finalizing the guest list for the grand ball. Select ALL the sentences that correctly show possession for these distinguished (and dramatic) guests.

The correct answers are The Princess's missing tiara caused quite a scandal. and The commander-in-chief's horse refused to move.

Singular nouns ending in s (like Princess or Jones) usually take an apostrophe + s to show possession (Princess's, Mr. Jones's).

For compound nouns (like commander-in-chief or mother-in-law), the possessive apostrophe + s always goes at the very end of the phrase, not in the middle.
