Answer:
Here's the answer to the best of my ability..
You're asking for what sentence is missing a hyphen and I see nothing wrong with the one sentence that doesn't have a hyphen.
But if you're asking for what sentence is using a hyphen incorrectly then option B is your answer because machine gun doesn't need a hyphen.
If you're asking which sentences are using the hyphen correctly then option's A, and C are your answer.
If you're the question you asked has no mistakes then the best answer would be option D because that's the only option without a hyphen.
Hope this helps.
<span>Dear J.K. Rowling
I really appreciated your book "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". The serious tone Harry uses when speaking truly underlines dire times felt within the wizarding world. I could never find the right words to use when setting my plot, but I was truly inspired by your use of diction to control the tempo of a long narrative. This tempo control ran throughout the text, emotionally tying specific plot devices to the perspective of a character and framing their state of being.
In conclusion, I hope my writing can glimpse a shadow of your craft. When I write in first person, as you did with Harry, I often now compare my use of language to your descriptive tendencies and search for improvements. Not writing extremely long sentences, or using out of character phrasing, but instead giving just enough detail to paint a vivid picture. If this gets to you, I hope you can write me back, I've attatched a pdf of a recent poem and hope you can give me some notes.
Thank you,
Sincerly...</span>

Answer: Choice D</h3>
...he that was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied
============================================================
Explanation:
Frederick Douglass is describing the horrific conditions of what kind of food he ate and the conditions in which he had his meals. At the start of the paragraph, he describes the food itself (a corn meal called Mush). Then later on he describes how the food was served in a very degrading inhumane way (the food being served in a trough; effectively treating them as animals). Shortly after, he goes over how the food was eaten through a variety of means: use of oyster shells, shingles, or bare hands. None of which involves the regular utensils you'd expect such as a spoon.
At the very end of the excerpt, Frederick Douglass mentions that "He that ate the fastest got most; he was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied". This effectively means that even though the food itself was horrible, and the conditions degrading, people were still hungry and had no other choice. Also, even the people who were able to eat the most weren't truly/fully fed.
So in short, the last part of the excerpt describes that the slaves weren't fed enough. If we could narrow down the cited evidence as much as possible, the portion that mentions "few left the trough satisfied" is the thing you should focus on.
Answer:
Which sentence would provide the best transition into the counterargument paragraph of this essay?
3. Many would argue that there is no harm in populating our communication with OMGs and LOLs given their widespread use.
Which revision would add supporting evidence to best strengthen Jason's claim?
2. Add this sentence to the above excerpt: Studies suggest that saving a few keystrokes can both reduce stress and lead to more productivity.
Explanation:
For the first question, we must first understand what Jason's claim is. That can be found at the end of his introductory paragraph:
"Internet slang is a manifestation of two more serious problems with modern society - intellectual laziness and too little time."
Now, we must find a sentence to introduce a counterargument. A counterargument is an idea that opposes the argument.<u> The argument claims that internet slang usage is a problem. The counterargument must state the contrary. The sentence that does that is number 3: "Many would argue that there is no harm in populating our communication with OMGs and LOLs given their widespread use." This sentence is basically stating that internet slang is not a problem.</u>
For the second question, we need to choose the option the adds supporting evidence to the excerpt. In other words, we choose the option that agrees with and complements the excerpt. <u>The excerpt states that slang makes communication easier. The only option that agrees with that is number 2. </u>All the other options offer information or present ideas that go against that opinion. <u>Sentence 2,</u> however,<u> explains that slang makes communication less stressful.</u>
