In the sentence about White Castle, which possessive form is correct for the noun describing the hamburgers? 'White Castle, which began serving its' signature small, square hamburgers in 1921.'

The main idea here is how to show ownership with pronouns. For the neuter pronoun it, the possessive form is its, with no apostrophe. “Its” indicates something belonging to it, so in this sentence we’re saying the burgers are White Castle’s own signature burgers. “Its” works as the possessive determiner before signature.

Using its with no apostrophe is correct; “it’s” would mean “it is” (or “it has”) and doesn’t show possession. Forms like its’ or its’s aren’t standard possessive spellings, so they don’t fit here.

So the sentence should read: White Castle, which began serving its signature small, square hamburgers in 1921.
