Explanation:

Correct Use of Apostrophes in Sentences

Apostrophes are used for possessive forms and to indicate contractions. Let’s evaluate each sentence for correct possessive forms:

  1. Correct: Alex's and Jose's fathers are close friends, so it's not surprising that Alex and Jose are, too.
  2. Correct: Molly's and Sam's wedding sounds like it is going to cost a lot of money.
  3. Incorrect: My father's-in-law favorite pastime is to listen to classic jazz. (The correct form is "fathers-in-law" without the apostrophe.)
  4. Correct: My first rule is never to interfere in someone else's business.

Incorrect Combination of Words

Now, let’s identify where two words have been incorrectly combined without an apostrophe:

  1. Incorrect: This road is not at all familiar; something tells me were getting lost. (It should be "we're" as a contraction of "we are.")
  2. Correct: This bike is basically in good condition, but its brakes need to be fixed. (In this case, "its" is the correct possessive form.)
