Answer 1

14. should be the second one(:

Answer 2

are you sure.?

because in my book it it gives an ex:

Michael and John each have new haircuts that are stylish..

and it turns into:

Michael's and John's new haircuts are stylish

it says:
"If two or more people own something, just MAKE THE LAST PERSON POSSESSIVE.
ex. Jan and Dean's party (both own the same party
ex. the husband and wife's car (both own the same car)


if two or more people are joined by the word "and," and they each own their own items, THEN EACH PERSON IS GIVEN THE POSSESSIVE FORM
ex. the husband's, the wife's, and the son's car (The husband, the wife, and the son all own their own cars)
Jan's and dean's party (both Jan and Dean have a party)


so i'm confused!!

Answer 3

14 is correct as you have it. All are correct.

The reason 14's answer needs to be the first one is that Jennifer and Erick had separate tickets -- one each!!
