Hi, the use of ‘its’ in answer #4 is correct because, although the truck belongs to Ben, the truck possesses a powerful engine. ‘It’s a powerful truck’ (inclusive), could work.

Thanks Ayca, as said above I lost a couple of words there somehow! I’ve corrected it.

4th answer must be wrong. Can you check it?

I do not understand your answer to #4. I can only think that the its stands for “it is very powerful” and should have an apostrophe to show contraction.
