Select the option that best and most logically completes the given short paragraph. The apostrophe may be the most misunderstood punctuation mark in English – there are even websites dedicated to recording its misuse.

But the apostrophe is a small mark that has two primary uses, signifying either 1. omitted letters or 2. possession. But the apostrophe is used within words and to combine multiple words. However, we often elide sounds and letters when speaking for the sake of convenience, and the apostrophe helps written language reflect its spoken equivalent. None VARC E2.
