How should the bolded words in the sentence be contracted? Nobody is going to believe him!

Nobodys’s


Nobody’s


Nobodys


Nobodys’

The answer is Nobody's because Nobodys' shows possession. Nobody's is the correct format needed to show Nobody is. Hope this helps!

The correct option would be Nobody’s

In this case, the IS contraction is used and so the meaning of the sentences does not change. it is still expressing a future reference.
it is important not to get confused with the possessives (´s) otherwise this sentences would not have a clear meaning e.g Nobadys´.

Nobodys´s and nobodys are not grammatically correct options. so they should be discarded at once.
