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>

Duty, in a way, contributed to the shallowness and failure of Ivan's life. Not because duty in itself is bad, but because it has become Ivan's only preoccupation, apart from pleasant life. Tolstoy's negative view of duty is seen in the second half of this sentence: "he considered his duty all things that were so designated by people in authority". So, we are talking about duty as Ivan sees it, and Ivan sees it as it was designated by people in authority. That means, Ivan structures his life and his priorities according to the view of those above him. His only ambition is to try and climb the social ladder. When he fails to do it, he is disappointed and has to find another obsession - of course, materialistic one. And that is the decoration of his new house. That's when he falls down and injures himself - so, indirectly, his materialism has cost him his health and, ultimately, his life.
