Explanation:

For the first section (choosing sentences with correct possessive nouns):

1. For question 1: Option A uses incorrect "farmers's" (should be "farmers'"), Option C uses incorrect "childrens'" (should be "children's"), Option D uses incorrect "twin's'" (should be "twins'"). Only Option B has a correctly formed possessive.
2. For question 2: Option G uses incorrect "Robertos'" (should be "Roberto's"), Option H uses incorrect "prisoner's" (plural possessive should be "prisoners'"), Option J uses incorrect "Cats" (should be "Cats'"). Only Option F has a correctly formed possessive.
3. For question 3: Option A uses incorrect "Artis'" (should be "Artist's" or "Artis's"), Option B uses incorrect "journalists questions" (should be "journalists' questions"), Option D uses incorrect "peoples'" (should be "people's"). Only Option C has a correctly formed possessive.
4. For question 4: Option F uses incorrect "Malik's'" (should be "Malik's"), Option G uses incorrect "childrens" (should be "children's"), Option H uses incorrect "actress'" (singular possessive should be "actress's"). Only Option J has a correctly formed possessive.

For the second section (correcting underlined possessive nouns):

1. The sentence refers to one jockey's outfit, so the correct singular possessive is "jockey's".
2. The sentence refers to multiple voters, so the correct plural possessive is "voters'".
3. The sentence refers to multiple artists, so the plural possessive "artists'" is already correct.
4. The sentence refers to one Meg's hobbies, so the correct singular possessive is "Meg's".
