#2 Which pair correctly uses a hyphen?

a) Big-furry dog

b) Happy-little girl

c) Friendly-looking dog

d) Large-green sofa

I think it's #1 is b & #2 is c.

Answer 2

I'm thinking C for the first one. A and B say "over the next year," which sort of counters the fact that the decision must be made quickly. C shows a long-term change dependent on a quick decision. so I'd go with C.

For #2, A should be "Big, furry dog," B should be "Happy little girl," and D should be "Large, green sofa."

Therefore, your answer would be C.

Answer 3

Which sentence correctly uses hyphens?

a) The accountant gave the tables a quick-glance of review.

b) The sugared-fruit was popular at first but then overlooked.

c) The quick-thinking, well-dressed speaker shocked the audience.

d) The actress was still fretted-over before her stage entrance.

Would this one be, d? @Zedditup

Answer 4

The answer would not be D. Fretted is a verb, so if she frets over something, it doesn't require a hyphen. The answer should be C, simply because I've never seen "well-dressed" without a hyphen
