<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>.

Fog rolling down the river is what kind of phrase?
Gelneren [198K]
Fog rolling down the river is a form of figurative language known as personification. Personification occurs when a non-human object is given a human characteristic or action. In this case, fog cannot literally "roll" down the river. I mean, just imagine a person rolling down a hill like a derp-head. Fog doesn't do that, but in a figurative way, it "rolls" down the river. I hope you can understand :')

(link attached) What is meant by the last line of the text? How did the Maginot Line serve as an example of this saying? Support
NikAS [45]

Hello. You did not enter the line of text to which this question refers. However, when researching your question, I was able to find a question like yours and realized that the line of text you forgot to present was “Generals always fight the last war”.

Answer and Explanation:

The line “Generals always fight the last war” means the existence of a faith that successful attitudes in the past will be equally successful in the present, even though the present and the past are completely different realities. The Maginot line serves as an example for this sentence because it achieved its goal of protecting France from German invasion during the First World War. Because of this success, it was used again as a strategy in the second world war. However, the two wars were very different, as were the German strategies, which meant that the Maginot line was no longer able to provide any protection to France, which was invaded by Germany.
