First you should know that possessive pronouns replace a name or a noun that indicates possession, to whom something belongs. With this explained, the answer are:

His <em>sister-in-law’s</em> letter came as a surprise to Chuck (the apostrophe goes at the end of the last word)

<em>Arizona’s</em> climate is dry (the apostrophe goes at the end of the word)

She is a writing a paper on <em>Byron’s and Shelly’s</em> poems (the apostrophe goes at the end of the second name because the entity is not the same)

I met a man<em> whose</em> sister I know (because it reffers to his sister)

It’s too bad that the <em>dog’s</em> foot got hurt (the apostrophe goes at the end of the word)

<em>Smith’s</em> house is red (the apostrophe goes at the end of the surname)

<em>Kevin and Mike’s</em> parents, Arthur and Alice Brooks, are both scientists (the apostrophe goes at the end of the second name because the entity is the same)

11. His sister-in-law’s letter came as a surprise to Chuck.

The compund noun is not separated. The <em>'s</em> is added to the end of the noun.

12. Arizona’s climate is dry.

The possessive of a singular noun is formed by adding an <em>'s</em> to it.

13. She is writing a paper on Byron’s and Shelley’s poems.

Since the poems belong to two separate people--they did not compose them together, so this is not shared ownership--the <em>'s</em> goes after each of their names.

14. I met a man whose sister I know.

Who's is a contraction meaning "who + is", expressing "what or which person or people". <em>Whose</em> is a possessive pronoun.

15. It’s too bad that the dog’s foot got hurt.

This is the same case as number 12.

16. Smith’s house is red.

If a singular noun ends in s, the rule is to also add <em>'s</em>. The only time a noun ending in s will only have an apostrophe added is when is plural. So in this case it could only be<em> Smith's</em> or <em>Smiths's, </em>depending on the name, since it's not a plural noun.

17. Kevin and Mike’s parents, Arthur and Alice Brooks, are both scientists.

Kevin and Mike share the same parents. As this is a shared possessive, the <em>'s</em> goes at the end of the last name.
