it is* and some of their answers are inconsistent
eg it gives "Augustus's" as being wrong (in favour of "Augustus' ") - but if you follow the logic of having the 's where you pronounce the second 's' then it should be right.
(I suspect that this answer in the quiz might be bringing grammar tedes and Latin tedes together in a horrible mix)
(*if you accept that the English language evolves over time...)
