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
