Apostrophes are used to indicate an omission. It is used to show or replaced the missing letter in the word or showing dialect or accent. Apostrophes are very common in creating contractions. Examples like I'm, which is from "I am", Who's from "who is", and aren't from "Are not". It is also used to make words shorter, like for example the word 'cause, from "because".

Answer:

This looks like a prompt on politics.

So here is a paragraph I would write in the format:

-Follow whatever prompt your instructor gave.

-Basically, write an essay based on the format given (the guide questions included). The essay will look terrible, but that is ok. It is only a first draft.

-Then proofread, change sentences.

-If the paper is not due soon, then you can take some time each day to edit and rephrase the essay.

-Use the format requested (I use MLA most of the time).
