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.

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

Explanation:

i love romeo and xo

it is a!

not b because i don't see how this would make them look dangerous..

not c because that just doesn't make sense..

and not d because this too doesn't make sense, it does not really put the audience on edge in my opinion.

a makes the most sense, romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety. obviously if he says that if he stays, he will be at risk, so of course this makes the audience worry for his safety!

answer is a) romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety.
