Answer 1

Swimming-pool, overturned  these word pairs contain a closed compound word and a hyphenated compound word that are written correctly.

Open compounds, such as "ice cream," closed compounds, such as "doorknob," and hyphenated compounds are the three different ways that compound words can be expressed (two words joined by a hyphen, e.g., long-term). Sometimes a compound term consists of more than two words (e.g., mother-in-law). A term that has at least one hyphen is said to be hyphenated. Hyphenated words are typically compound terms, meaning that the hyphen joins two or more words. In writing, we also employ hyphens for purposes other than compound words.
