Question

How does the dash link two ideas in this sentence?

Answer 1

Answer:

Dashes are characterized as a small horizontal line(longer than a hyphen) which is used to mark a pause in the sentence by isolating the group of words. They can be used to connect two ideas

by marking the 'bonus phrases' which add additional information in the sentence. For example,

"Even the easiest things — watching movie, playing football, and going out with friends — became dream for me as I have my exams next week."

It is also used for signaling the introductions of the sentence or conclusions. For instance,

"To enhance your performance, you need to strictly focus on things you lag behind in — strength, confidence, and self-reliance."
