b.
Sterling Silver Boxes
1st: a is wrong because the apostrophe should be before the s in childrens
b is correct.
c is wrong because boxes is spelled wrong.
So i think b is correct for both of them

a. should say “children’s”
c. should say “boxes” and also not posessive
b. correct answer; the thieves didn’t take the “jewlery that belongs to the ladies” (posessive and plural)
a. should say “Jones’s” (also not plural)
c. should say “Mr. Barnes’s” and “axes”
b. correct answer; the echoes of the jeers rang in “the ears belonging to the player” (posessive and plural)

The answer to number one is B because:
Letter A should be : The children’s librarian is only here on Mondays. – The apostrophe doesn’t go after the “s” because children is already plural.
Letter C should be: The boxes of cakes were left in the freezer. – Boxs should be boxes.
The answer to number two is also B because:
Letter A should be: The tornadoes tore the roof off the Jones’s house. – Tornadoes is plural with an “es”. Jones should be Jones’s because to make “Jones” possessive, you add an apostrophe “s”.
Letter C should be: Mr. Barnes’s two axes broke when he was chopping wood. – Mr. Barnes works the same way as Jones because they are both singular but happen to have an “s” on the end. The rule still applies. To make “ax” plural, you add an “es” so it is “axes”
