Answer:

One function of the hyphen is to connect two words acting as a single unit to modify a noun.

Explanation:

The correct way to use a <em>hyphen (-)</em> is to separate the two words that make up a <u>compound word.</u>

Its function is to join these types of words:

  • Compound nouns. For example: <em>stick-in-the-mud</em> .
  • Compound verbs. For example:<em> to gift-wrap .</em>
  • Compound adjectives. For example: <em>state-of-the-art .</em>

It is very important <u>not to confuse hyphens with dashes.</u> Dashes are much longer (-), while hyphens are shorter (-).

Another feature is that <u>spaces should not be used when writing hyphens. </u>

In chapter 10 find a selva quote that shows he is hopeful
nadya68 [22]
<span>While I was changing my shirt, I d**n near gave my kid sister Phoebe a buzz, though. I certainly felt like talking to her on the phone. Somebody with sense and all. But I couldn't take a chance on giving her a buzz, because she was only a little kid and she wouldn't have been up, let alone anywhere near the phone. I thought of maybe hanging up if my parents answered, but that wouldn't've worked, either. They'd know it was me. My mother always knows it's me. She's psychic. But I certainly wouldn't have minded shooting the cr*p with old Phoebe for a while.</span>

Which domains can be fully trusted?
elixir [45]
.org, .gov, .edu are usually the most reliable domains when it comes to dealing with english related assignments.

.org - means the website is from an organization, without the intention of selling commercial products.
.gov - is from the government so we know that this is reliable
and .edu is usually for university websites.

Hope this helped.
