How to infer possessiveness

0Hi,02br
02br
00I sometimes have a hard time knowing whether a phrase is written in possessive or not. Usually, possessive shows the ownership, I think. Do you have any tips? How about this, which one shows the best example? 02br
02br
00Supervisor's Office 02br
02br
001. an office 01u00of 02u00the supervisor, assuming there is only one supervisor??02br
02br
002. an office 01u00for02u00 the supervisor, assuming there is only one supervisor??02br
02br
003. an office 01u00owned by02u00 the supervisor, assuming there is only one supervisor??02br
02br
00The above may be a simple case but there seem be many dubious cases where a simple application of the above method may not be all that useful. Do you have any tips? 0-
