We are asked to put an apostrophe on the stressed syllable.
Since we are given the word burglary, we can designate the apostrophe to the word burglary, based on how we pronounce it.
burglary
burg'lary
We often put emphasis or stress on the syllable burg, and pronounce the other syllable "lary", with less emphasis.
Final answer:
burg'lary
