Correct apostrophe use is shown in sentence B. There are two apostrophes that need to be considered here: We're and Megan's. We're is shortened from We are. In the case of Megan's, the apostrophe is used as a possessive. In sentence B, all the apostrophes are used correctly.

Further Explanation:

Many students often make a mistake with the correct use of apostrophes. They can be quite confusing, right? Apostrophes can be used for different purposes. Let's take a closer look at them.

1. Apostrophes for contractions

Apostrophes are used for contraction, when we want to shorten a verb form.

Auxiliary verbs - In a positive sentence, when an auxiliary (verb BE, HAVE, WILL) is placed next to the pronoun, the short form is usually used, e.g. I'm/ We're/ He's/ They'llNegative forms - negative forms of auxiliaries are often shortened with an apostrophe, e.g. haven't/ won't/ aren't

2. Possessive 's

Apostrophe is always used to show possession, or that something belongs to someone. Use an apostrophe + s after a name of a person or a thing to show that someone/something belongs to them.

e.g. Megan's sister

Tim's car

If the name of a person ends in s, the apostrophe comes at the end.

e.g. Ross' book

If a plural noun ends in s, we use the apostrophe at the end of the word

e.g. parents' bedroom

boys' room

Read the excerpt from act ii, scene v of romeo and juliet. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: 15 therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. friar laurence is motivated to offer this warning because he knows that something bad will certainly happen to the lovers. feels that romeo is acting foolishly and should not get married. enjoys giving advice because he is wise and can others. wants to caution romeo about the consequences of his actions.
