<u>Answer: </u>

Question 1: to indicate a pause

Question 2: False

Question 3: man and eating

<u>Explanation:</u>

Question 1:

  • The hyphen is used to link two words together.

For example:

A family-owned restaurant

  • The hyphen is used to separate syllables in a word. For example, televi-

sion.

  •   The hyphen is used in some situations with prefixes. One rule states that you can use a hyphe if it comes before proper nouns or proper adjectives. For example: trans-Atlantic, mid-October

The hyphen is not used to indicate a pause.

Question 2:

It's false.

  • They are not the same symbol. The hyphen is shorter.
  • Hyphens are not separated by spaces, while a dash has a space on either side.
  • Hyphens are mainly used for the reasons stated above, while dashes are  used to mark a pause. They are parenthetical statements.
  • Hyphens are used ot separate parts of words, dashes are used to separate groups of words.  

Question 3:

The correct way of using a hyphen is <em>the man-eating jellyfish</em>.

The rule here is: use a hyphen to join two or more words that come before a noun and act as an adjective. This is called a <em>compound adjective</em>.

Answer:

Tone, Plot, and Imagery.

Explanation:

These would be the answers because; tone allows the reader into the trance of the novel allowing them to truly understand the meaning behind the story or scene. Plot lets the reader know what is happening throughout the story, without the plot, the book wouldn't make any logical sense. Imagery, some people have a hard time imagining the story in their head on their own. Most authors use imagery to draw the reader's attention to what's really happening throughout the story ad allows them to create that mental picture for themselves. These all create a whole new atmosphere for the reader and help you better understand the author's purpose.
