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>

D. indirect characterization

Indirect characterization is when the author reveals the traits of a character by the way the character speaks, thinks, effects others, acts, and looks. In this excerpt the character's traits are shown through his generosity to the drivers. He gives them each a pack of cigarettes and informs them about what is planned. Direct characterization is when the author specifically tells the reader the character's traits.
