B. Add a hyphen between “twenty” and “seven.” Otherwise, it is written as two separate numbers, 20 and 7.

A. Delete the hyphen in “one-fourth.” You are counting the number of fourths, so a hyphen is not needed.

A. Add a comma after “trumpet.” This is called a serial comma, or an Oxford comma. Many people use it and some don’t. It is the comma that separates the second to last item in a list from the preposition before the last item.

1. The winning lottery numbers are three, fifteen, nineteen, and twenty seven.

Add a hyphen between "twenty and "seven".

You should always hyphenate numbers when you are describing compound numbers between twenty-one and ninety-nine.

2. At least one-fourth of the paintings—which are all by American artists—will be included in the special exhibit.

Delete the hyphen in one-fourth.

Fractions should always be hyphenated when they function as adverbs or ajectives. In this case, the fraction functions as a noun, so the hyphen is not needed (although there is differing opinions on this, so no revision is needed could also be correct).

Dashes are used to separate groups of words. It's longer than a hyphen and is used to indicate a range or pause. Hyphens are used to separate parts of words.

3.  Mr. Singh, an accomplished musician, plays three instruments: piano, trumpet and clarinet.

Add a comma after "trumpet"

It is most accepted to include a comma after all items in a list. It is correct to set apart the rest of the sentence from the list with a colon.

Describe the various instances that depict Candace Lapidus as an archetype for any academician. (Gogol's first day)
Soloha48 [4]
In chapter 3, Namesake, Candace Lapidus is introduced in the story as the principal of the school who will be taking Gogol's registration. During their meeting with Gogol's parents, she noticed that Nikhail is the written name on the registration but the parents call the kid Gogol. She then asks the kid what name he prefers and decides to go by it. 
This instance shows Candace Lapidus as the archetype of a teacher because she has a genuine interest in the kid. She focuses on the things that will make the kid feel relevant and be more responsive. These are traits most commonly found in teachers.
