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>

Answer:

The infinitives are beside each other, but one does not contain the other.

Explanation:

<em>Infinitives are the basic form of the verb without any articulation links it to the subject. The sentence provided here employs two infinitives "to try" and "to write" back to back and beside each other. The sentence is correct as the usage of two base forms of the verbs has often been witnessed. However, the infinitives are beside each other yet they do not contain each other as each is displaying its meaning clearly and effectively. Thus, the last option is correct.</em>

Excuse that this question is less objective than an ordinary academic one you scholars are more used to.
son4ous [18]

Answer and Explanation:

To be frank, I believe that it is impossible to utterly avoid writer's block. In a writer's career, one is bound to hit a roadblock where they simply cannot conjure new ideas or lead on the storyline, try as they might.

Despite this, there are a few ways that can mitigate this issue:

- Find a place, person, or object that you've always found inspiring to you or that always manages to calm you (usually it is a specific location). There, sit down, perhaps meditate a bit, clear your mind. Maybe something will come to your mind.

- Write down a list of words or phrases or ideas that rapidly come to mind, no matter how ridiculous or irrelevant they are. Perhaps later when you come back to this piece of writing and see this list, you may be able to create a few connections.

- Set down the piece of writing for a while; take a break from it. Perhaps begin another story with a totally new/different plot. Once you've refreshed your mind from this one, return and you'll likely find yourself and your place again.

Inevitably, you will find your way back on track and continue with your writing. There truly is nothing you can do to totally prevent writer's block.

Hope this helps!
