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.
The narrative technique that bears the most tension in the readings of "The Pit and the Pendulum" by Edgar Allen Poe (1843) and "After Twenty Years" by O. Henry (1906) is the setting.
- The setting as a narrative technique describes the time and place that an event takes place in a story.
- The setting of Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum" was in a cell with burning walls, symbolizing death. On the other hand, the setting of O. Henry's "After Twenty Years" was at a New York street, where Bob and Jimmy had originally agreed to meet again after twenty years.
- The same narrative technique of setting was the most effective in both stories.
Thus, Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum" concentrated on scenes where the unreliable narrator was tried and sentenced to death, just as O. Henry's "After Twenty Years" dwelt on the scene where Bob was cut by the long hand of justice for a crime through his long-time friend, Jimmy.

Answer:
Yes, Odysseus' actions in dealing with the suitors are consistent with his actions in earlier episodes of the epic.
Explanation:
Odysseus is the main character in the epic poem "The Odyssey" by Homer. A typical epic hero, Odysseus is clever, strong, and brave. After fighting in the Trojan War, Odysseus takes several years to return home. Some gods are angry at him for his arrogance, so they make his journey more difficult. However, Odysseus has the goddess Athena by his side, helping him.
When Odysseus finally gets to Ithaca, his island, he finds out his wife has been putting up with several suitors. Those men refuse to leave, trying to force Penelope to marry one them. To deal with those men, Odysseus is disguised by Athena to look like a beggar. Then, with the help of his own son, he slaughters the suitors.
Those actions are consistent with Odysseus behaviors and decisions in earlier episodes of the poem. As a matter of fact, he almost always resorts to cunning and killing to solve his problems. He did the same thing to the Cyclops (a one-eyed giant) who trapped him and his men in his cave. He got the giant drunk, and blinded him. Since the Cyclops had been told by Odysseus that his name was Nobody, Odysseus easily got away with what he had done, for the Cyclops kept saying that "Nobody" had hurt him. Odysseus is clearly a smart man who will come up with creative solutions to defeat his enemies.
