John can claim one personal exemption for himself and one for Kevin as a dependent. He can also claim one dependency exemption for each of Donna, Melissa, and Morris, totaling four additional exemptions. Therefore, the total number of personal and dependency exemptions John can claim is 5 (1 personal + 1 for Kevin + 3 dependencies).
