(C) because "words are but wind" basically means that promises really mean nothing because one cannot trust promises because they can be broken.
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'll
- Negative 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
