be careful, there are extra words that do not match.
choices

• the building’s windows
• the buildings’ windows
• poem’s
• i’m
• commas

plural possessive
contraction
singular possessive

Explanation:

• Plural possessive: A plural possessive noun shows that more than one noun owns or has something. "the buildings' windows" - "buildings" is plural, and the apostrophe after the "s" shows the windows belong to multiple buildings.
• Contraction: A contraction is a shortened form of a word (or group of words) that omits certain letters or sounds. "I'm" is a contraction of "I am".
• Singular possessive: A singular possessive noun shows that one noun owns or has something. "the building's windows" (the windows of one building) and "poem's" (something belonging to one poem) are singular possessive. "commas" is a plural noun with no apostrophe, so it doesn't match any apostrophe rule here.

Answer:

• Plural possessive: the buildings' windows
• Contraction: I'm
• Singular possessive: the building's windows, poem's
