Answer:

1. My brothers' favorite activity is wrestling each other on the ground= P.

2.Where'd you put the salt an pepper shakers= C.

3.Wouldn"t you like to know what you're getting for your birthday= C.

4.The bus's passengers were getting tired of sitting in traffic= P.

5.Why'd you purposely forget to give your brother his birthday present.= C.

Explanation:

The use of the apostrophe sign (') to show possession is to show the possessive form of a noun or pronoun. On the other hand, the same sign can be used to contract or shorten a certain word.

In the given sentences, sentence 1 and 4 uses the apostrophe sign to show possession while sentences 2, 3, and 5 used it as a contraction.

Sentences 1 and 4 used the apostrophe in the words "brothers'" and "bus's" to show the possessive nature of the 'favorite activity of the brothers' and 'the passengers of the bus'.

In sentences 2, 3, and 5, the contractions are used in the words "where'd (where did), wouldn't (would not), and why'd (why did)" to shorten the question words.
