Answer:

We're going to get an ice cream cone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Y'oull be glad you took a break is incorrect because the first word should be You'll.

Do'nt you want to come with us is incorrect because the first word should be Don't.

Its' so hot outside is incorrect because the first word should It's.

Since these 3 sentences are wrong, that means only the second option is correct.

Answer:

"We're going to get an ice cream cone."

Step-by-step explanation:

An apostrophe is used in a contraction to indicate where letters have been left out. In the contraction "We're," the apostrophe stands in for the missing letter "a" in "are." "Y'oull" is not a valid contraction of "you'll," and "Do'nt" is not a valid contraction of "don't." The sentence "Its’ so hot outside" is incorrect because the possessive form of "it" is "its," not "it's."
