Answer 1

The two sentences that use an apostrophe correctly in a plural possessive noun are:

1. The basketball players' lockers will be cleaned out on Friday. (This indicates that the lockers belong to multiple basketball players.)

2. The United States' national anthem is "The Star-Spangled Banner." (This indicates that the national anthem belongs to the United States, which is treated as a collective, singular noun.)

The other options do not correctly use apostrophes for plural possessives.
