Answer:

C. Apostrophe

Explanation:

Apostrophe:

Apostrophe is a figure of speech by using which a writer or speaker addresses an absent/dead person as if he/she were present, or an inanimate object or idea as if it were a living thing and listening to him/her (speaker).

Examples:  

"O wild West Wind"

"O, my cell phone, you were so dear to me."

Hyperbole: It is an exaggerated statement not to be taken literally.

Examples:

"The sun came just meters away from the earth."

"She would conquer the entire universe with her smile"

Simile:

It is a figure of speech in which the writer makes comparison between two things which may have some relation but are different. Simile always uses comparison words such as, like, as, similar to etc.

Examples:

"He is as brave as a lion"

"Life is like a dream"

Litotes:

It is an understatement in which a positive statement is made by negating its opposite. Or use of double negatives to make a positive statement.

Examples:

"It was not one of my best days" to mean It was one of my bad days."

"The books was not bad" to mean the book was good."

Excerpt from Marsupials
Vesnalui [34]

B) escape from their enemies by jumping away

Escape is spelled correctly in the excerpt. Escape does not have an x. This means option A is wrong and B is correct. C is also wrong because of the spelling of escape and also because it uses the wrong there. In the sentence, their is a possessive adjective. It shows that enemies "belong" to the monkeys since they are the enemies of the monkeys. There means a place, as in over there. They're is a contraction meaning they are. Option D is wrong because of the spelling of escape and the apostrophe in enemie's. An apostrophe is used for contractions or to show ownership. The enemies do not own anything and it is not part of a contraction.
