English
1 answer:
daser333 [38]3 years ago
8 0

The sentence that presents an incorrect use of hyphens is: "A thesis statement should be well-crafted and thought-over." Option B is correct.

The hyphen (‐) is a punctuation mark employed in order to join words and to separate syllables of a single word. The use of hyphens is known as hyphenation. As an orthographic concept, the hyphen is a single entity.

A hyphen  is used in a compound modifier when the modifier comes before the word it’s modifying.

In which sentence is the underlined phrase an adverb prepositional phrase?
Lina20 [59]

Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the underlined phrases, which are:

The biggest industry <u>of the Cook Islands</u> is tourism, which brings in more revenue than exporting fish and fruit.

The Cook Islands is a group <u>of 15 small volcanic islands</u>.

The Cook Islands stretch <u>over 800 miles</u>.

An airport <u>on Rarotonga</u> is a destination for tourists to the Cook Islands.

Answer:

The Cook Islands stretch <u>over 800 miles</u>.

Explanation:

Prepositional phrases begin with a preposition and have an object and, sometimes, modifiers. They can also act as adjectives when they modify nouns, and as adverbs when they modify verbs, by demonstrating how, when, where and why the action occurs. In this case, the underlined prepositional phrase functions as an adverbial phrase because it shows where or to what extent the Cook Islands stretch.

The rest of the options are incorrect because they modify nouns, so their object is related to the nouns they modify.

One:

(Example of work:

Yes! We stole it, Vivonne may you hold in, I need to hide the fingerprints I left inside the safe.

Rigoberto starts dusting off the fingerprints, but him having no idea that Vivonne stole the diamond and left him! He tries to hurry up, but because of this he causes the alarm to go off, red lights, loud noises, he had to run! Before he could even escape the police were already there. Rigoberto gets inside the car and off to jail, he went. He was mad, furious, he wanted revenge.

Within time he starts planning an escape, finally, the day has come of his great idea of escaping. It was a success! He went to go find Vivonne.

HA! I FOUND YOU! I KNEW YOU WOULD BE HERE! Before he countied to talk he finds her tied up and dead...
