Answer 1

Corrections: Passerby's glance....Six deer's tails...Duffys' pool... Two fish's spots...The ox's burden...Salesclerk's key.

This should resolve your question.

Answer 2

Some corrections:

q.The glace of a passerby-a. Passerbie's Glance.
Passerby’s glance. No reason to change spelling.
q.The six deer have tails.-a.deer's six tails
Deer’s tails Deer is both plural and singular.
q.the recipes of Marcus-a.Marcus' recipes
Marcus’s recipes
See below
q.The award of Mr. Jones-a.Mr. Jones' award
Mr. Jones’s award
See below
q.The Duffys have a pool-a-Duffy's Pool
Duffys’ pool. Plural possessive

q.The two goldfish have spots-a.(I don't know)
Goldfish’s spots - Goldfish is plural or singular.
q.The burden of the ox-a.(I don't know)
Ox’s burden
q.Chris has a party -a.Chris' party
Chris’s party
See below
q.The key of the salesclerk-a.Salesclerks' key
Salesclerk’s key Singular possessive
q.the paw of a lioness-a.Lioness' paw
Lioness’s paw
See below.

I can see comments and diasagreement coming. But if a singular noun ends in 's', the possessive is formed by adding an apostrophe + s. James = James's. Jones = Jones's. Lioness = Lioness's.

To stave some off, here's the link to the Government Printing Office Style Manual:

Too many people seem to think that if a word ends in 's' , you just add an apostrophe to form possessive. That is correct for PLURAL possessive only. NOT for singular.

Answer 3

For some of them you've put the apostrophe on the wrong place. The corrections I've picked up are:

A passerby's glance.
Six deers' tails.
The goldfishes' spots or the goldfish's spots(both fish or fishes can suffice as the plural for fish)
The ox's burden.

Answer 4

six deer's tails
the 2 goldfish's spots
the ox's burden

Answer 5

Interesting! Never really gave this much thought
