Question

which sentence below shows the correct use of an apostrophe in a contraction?
the tornado’s approach sent everyone running for cover.
too much sun’s bad for your skin.
the snow was too dry for they’re snowballs to stick together.
it looks like it’s going to rain.

Explanation:

• In the sentence "It looks like it’s going to rain", "it’s" is a contraction of "it is", which is a correct use of an apostrophe in a contraction.
• In "The snow was too dry for they’re snowballs to stick together", the correct form should be "their" (possessive) instead of "they’re" (contraction of "they are").
• In "Too much sun’s bad for your skin", "sun’s" is used as a possessive (sun's [effect]), not a contraction.
• In "The tornado’s approach sent everyone running for cover", "tornado’s" is used as a possessive (tornado's [approach]), not a contraction.

Answer:

It looks like it’s going to rain.
