Explanation: <u>A contraction is a shortened form of one or two words that are used together. The contraction</u><u></u><u>"won't" is commonly used to mean "will not"</u>. Moreover, "won't" is generally found in texts that follow an informal writing style since the academic writing conventions do not allow the use of contractions. On the other hand,<u> the shortened forms of "would not" and "was not" are "wouldn't" and "wasn't", respectively</u>. In these cases, the apostrophe is replacing the missing letter ("o").
