Answer: And Buck was truly a red-eyed devil, as he drew himself together for the spring, hair bristling, mouth foaming, a mad glitter in his blood-shot eyes. Straight at the man he launched his one hundred and forty pounds of fury, surcharged with the pent passion of two days and nights.

Explanation:

We need to use a hyphen when we are transforming a group of two words or more into an adjective. That is, when those words characterize a noun and are placed right before it, they should have a hyphen between them.

In this excerpt, red-eyed is characterizing devil, and blood-shot is characterizing eyes. The other options given are not functioning as adjectives to a noun and, therefore, do not need the hyphen.

Check out some examples that show when to use it:

I live in a middle-class neighborhood.

I want to live in a neighborhood that is middle class.

write a 400 to 600 word persuasive essay on whether or not the story of Anne Frank and the Holocaust should be taught in middle
katrin [286]
The story of Anne frank and The Holocaust should be taught in middle school because of the history behind it all. Students from this generation need to be informed on what happened during the Holocaust because it is an important part of our history... the Holocaust truly shows how evil people can be. And it shows that there are survivors of bad events. The Holocaust was a vital yet horrid part of our history that must not be repeated. By talking about it with middle schoolers of this generation it add awareness to what happened and it allows us to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Refer to the Newsela article "Health Benefits of Reading, Writing, Are Not Just for Patients."
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The two correct answers are:

"He found that children and adults who have read stories their whole lives were more likely to correctly identify the feelings  and thoughts of others than those who do not read regularly."

"Trying to understand these characters exercises the same mental muscle that helps us understand people in the real  world."

Explanation:

First, let's take a look at the statement:

"People who read stories are better at sharing and understanding other people's feelings."

The question asks us to find two other statements that support the sentence above. To do that, <u>we can simply ask why or how we know this. Why do people who read stories understand other people's feelings better?  How do we know that this is true? Whatever statement answers these questions is providing evidence or supporting them by explaining them.</u>

<u>The two last options are the best ones, in this case. People who read stories understand others' feelings better because they exercise the same mental muscle that does that understanding when they read. They do so by trying to understand the characters. This is what the last option tells us. How do we know that this is true? Because the researcher found out that children and adults who have read stories all their lives are more likely to identify feelings correctly. This is what the second to last option tells us.</u>
