<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>.

Explain how implicit characterization tells us about the character or the situation:
Anastasy [175]
Rather than explicitly describe a characters qualities, an author shows the character as he or she moves through the world, allowing the reader to infer the character qualities from his or her behavior!

Depending on a situation, for example if the plot is in Paris and the main character is in disparity. Their actions or their speech would tell us what’s happening

Implicit characterization is when you need to infer what a character is like. This occurs when an author gives you a characters thoughts, actions, interactions, speech, and context
