The writer should use an ellipsis instead of a comma to convey a sense of hesitation or uncertainty in the speaker's voice. The ellipsis effectively captures the emotional pause, emphasizing the character's nervousness or anticipation about their question regarding making the team.

In the sentence, the ellipsis is used to indicate an omission of text, suggesting that some information has been left out for brevity or to focus on the main idea. This is supported by the context, as it implies that additional details were part of the original statement that are not necessary for understanding the overall point about the duration it took for the case to be tried in court.

To show possession for singular nouns, an apostrophe is added before the "s" (e.g., "the dog's bone" for one dog), while for plural nouns that already end in "s," the apostrophe is placed after the "s" (e.g., "the dogs' park" for multiple dogs). For contractions, an apostrophe replaces the omitted letters (e.g., "can't" for "cannot" and "it's" for "it is").
