Apostrophes
The apostrophe is a widely misused punctuation mark. In proper usage, the apostrophe indicates either a possessive case or where a letter or letters have been removed. An apostrophe is used to indicate a plural in only one special case—when there is a lowercase letter that is plural, such as in the phrase
mind your p’s and q’s
.
Select the sentence that violates the guidelines for apostrophes.
