1 circle the possessive noun.
2 underline words that could be revised with a possessive noun.
3 write the revised possessive noun.

Explanation:

1. In the sentence "George moved the woman's rosebush into the sun", "woman's" is a singular possessive noun as it indicates the rose - bush belongs to a single woman.
2. The phrase "the problems of many farmers" can be revised to use a possessive noun. Here, "farmers" is plural.
3. To form the possessive of a plural noun ending in -s, we add an apostrophe after the -s. So "the problems of many farmers" can be revised to "many farmers' problems".

Answer:

1. woman's
2. the problems of many farmers
3. many farmers' problems
