Apostrophes

The apostrophe is a widely misused punctuation mark. In proper usage, the apostrophe indicates either a possessive case or where a letter or letters have been removed. An apostrophe is used to indicate a plural in only one special case—when there is a lowercase letter that is plural, such as in the phrase mind your p’s and q’s.

Answer 2

She runs around in circle's, trying to run and jump at the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The above sentence is the sentence that violates the guidelines for apostrophes.

In the above sentence, we discover that the object "circle" is not to be written in a pluralized form with an apostrophe. The correct form of plural is circles. As stated in the guideline, using apostrophe to indicate a plural is used in a special case. Such case is when there is a lowercase letter that is to be pluralized; then apostrophe is added.
