I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.”—Robert Louis Stevenson<span><span>SynopsisBorn on November 13, 1850, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Robert Louis Stevenson traveled often, and his global wanderings lent themselves well to his brand of fiction. Stevenson developed a desire to write early in life, having no interest in the family business of lighthouse engineering. He was often abroad, usually for health reasons, and his journeys led to some of his early literary works. Publishing his first volume at the age of 28, Stevenson became a literary celebrity during his life when works such as Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were released to eager audiences. He died in Samoa in 1894.</span><span>Early LifeRobert Louis Balfour Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on November 13, 1850, to Thomas and Margaret Stevenson. Lighthouse design was his father's and his family's profession, and so at the age 17, he enrolled at Edinburgh University to study engineering, with the goal of following his father in the family business. Lighthouse design never appealed to Stevenson, though, and he began studying law instead. His spirit of adventure truly began to appear at this stage, and during his summer vacations he traveled to France to be around young artists, both writers and painters. He emerged from law school in 1875, but did not practice, as, by this point, he felt that his calling was to be a writer.</span></span>
C. Unexpected and surprise make it redundant - a surprise should be unexpected!
B. A possessive noun should have its instead of it's (which is a contraction for it is).
For A. Diana is a singular noun and the apostrophe should come after the r instead of after the s.
For C. The duck would've dunked ITS instead of IT'S beak since it is possessive.
For D. You do not need to put an apostrophe since theirs is already a possessive noun.
