One thing to remember is the apostrophe is used for possession, but it is also used to cantract a word - the apostrophe can indicate missing letters. 'It's' is always 'it is,' so in your first example, you have eliminated 50% of the choices. In 'aren't' and most other contractions, the apostrophe goes where the missing letter is - as a general rule, that too should help.
