Hi my name is molly and I am here to help :)

In English we use 3 versions of the “dash” (-)

It can be a hyphen which you use to link prefixes example is co-founder

It can be a en dash which you use between number sequences example is 1,2,3,4 instead with a en dash is 1-4

Last one is a em dash which can mark none important words or show a break in the sentence example is I hope you day is amazing-except when you don’t smile- but you always smile

If you could change your name what would it be? Why would you change your name to this? Give your name a meaning and explain why

Roman55 [17]

I would change my name it would be Brooklyn. It’s somewhat of a cliché as to why it would be this name but, I’ve always wanted a name I could shorten to something and Brooklyn would allow that. Maybe Brook or Lynn? Aside from that I’ve also loved the idea of visiting or moving to Brooklyn, NY (a Brooklyn living in Brooklyn makes me happy)! The meaning of Brooklyn is water or stream and it’s simply important to me because it would mean I would have a name I can have pride in and that is me.

I hope this helps!!

Answer: an idiom

Explanation:

In the sentence, "looked like a million dollars" is an idiom. An idiom is referred to as a term through which the meaning cannot be gotten literally from the words that it is made from.

An idiom is a group of words which has a meaning that's completely different from the meanings of the word on its own.

An example is saying someone has a cold feet. It doesn't mean that the feet of the person is cold but rather, it means that the perosn is nervous.
