This problem is not specific to the document class you are using. The problem arises because TeX can't figure out how to break the text in a convenient way so as to prevent lines that jump the gutter/margin or blank spaces in between words. The usual way, for a final draft at least, is to edit the text so that the line breaks occur in different places.

You can "suggest" hyphens like so: opt\-ion\-al hy\-phen\-a\-tion. Sometimes these sorts of tricks allow TeX to break a line in a better place, eliminating the rogue text across the margins, but usually a minor rewrite is necessary.
