Answer 8

That mark is an apostrophe. It means something has been left out--in this case the "i" in "is."

it's = it is

its = of it

The apostrophe is not a punctuation mark. How many punctuation marks are there? About a dozen--

. , ? ! " ' ; : ( ) [ ] /  There is one I can't make--a question mark superimposed on an exclamation point, called an interrobang. It never took off, though.

period, comma, question mark, exclamation mark (or point), double quote, single quote, semi-colon, colon, parentheses, brackets, shill or virgule or slash

- = hyphen

-- = em dash
