What about a plural possessive?

That's a possessive, not a plural. I am talking about things like, "Carrot's for sale."

Technically correct when it's used as a contraction:
"Carrot [the animal or slave] is for sale."

What if the word that is being used as the possessive just ends in an S, if someone has the last name of Jones, would it be "Jones' horse Carrot is for sale" or "Jones's horse Carrot is for sale" ?

Or if it's like horses' or horses's if it's the pasture belonging to horses?

Sentences begin with a capital letter. Questions end with question marks. Acronyms are typed in upper-case. These are very basic rules that anyone who has ever spent one hour studying English must know. Always use this basic knowledge here!

Both are acceptable.

So if both of those were questions, with the proper punctuation designating then as questions, would the former still be correct? Or then would both be acceptable after the aforementioned correction of punctuation?

Only the former sentence would be correct. There isn't a situation where the other one would ever be correct.

God it's the best when I'm having a conversation on the internet, and because I use my phone I look like an idiot because I don't review my posts before I post them.
