Row 1: the rule is about the possessive case of a plural noun. The plural noun "students" already ends in -s, so only an apostrophe is added: "The students' books are on the desk." The sentence without an apostrophe does not show possession. Row 2: the one-syllable adjective "wide" forms the comparative with -er, so the correct sentence is "This road is wider than that one." The form "more wide" is wrong for a short adjective.
