Row 1: Irregular plural nouns that do not end in -s (children, men, women) form the possessive case with 's, so the correct form is "children's". The sentence "The children's toys are on the floor." is correct, while "The childrens' toys are on the floor." wrongly adds the apostrophe after an extra -s. The sentences about the bridge contain no possessive noun. Row 2: The Present Perfect Passive is formed with have/has + been + Past Participle. The sentence "The new bridge has just been opened by the mayor." follows this pattern. The sentence "The new bridge has just opened by the mayor." lacks "been", so the passive meaning is formed incorrectly.
