Answer 1

When writing, you can most effectively use a dash A. to get the reader's attention. When you introduce a dash in the middle of your text, you will place a break in the sentence and thus draw the reader's attention to that particular part of the sentence. It means that it is important, or that you would like them to pay attention to that part.
