    The attorneys new office was similar to her former one, except that it was on a quieter street.

    The answer is a, because you are talking about the office that belongs to the attorney. When you make a word possessive you put an apostrophe "s" after it.

    Correctly written:

    The attorney's new office was similar to her former one, except that it was on a quieter street.
