The correct answer is A. Self-assured

Explanation:

A hyphen (-) is a short dash used to link words, this applies in the case of nouns with multiple words such as "wife-to-be", and also in the case of a set of words that act as a modifier or adjective such as "half-baked cookie". Additionally, the hyphen should never be used to separate essential parts of a word.

According to this, the pair of words that correctly uses a hyphen is "self-assured" because these words form a compound adjective and therefore by using a hyphen to join them it clarifies the meaning depends on both terms, considering this word means to have confidence in oneself, for example, "a self-assured woman" Alos, other options such as self-ish, self-less or self-lessness are not supposed to have a hyphen because they are words by themselves and thus they should be written as selfish, selfless and selflessness.

Which sentence carries a neutral connotation?
steposvetlana [31]
Connotation is a commonly understood cultural or emotional association that some word or phrase carries, in addition to its explicit or literal meaning, which is its denotation.

A connotation is frequently described as either positive or negative, with regard to its pleasing or displeasing emotional connection. For example, a stubborn person may be described as being either strong-willed or pig-headed; although these have the same literal meaning (stubborn), strong-willed connotes admiration for the level of someone's will (a positive connotation), while pig-headedconnotes frustration in dealing with someone (a negative connotation).
