Why are hyphens used in the following sentence?

English

diamong [38]3 years ago

Answer:

I would say because the sentence includes a compound noun because the hyphens are to connect "brother-in-law" which is multiple words acting as one word.

Answer:

Nick Carraway, Tom Buchanan, Daisy Buchanan, and Jay Gatsby

Explanation:

Nick Carraway

The novel's narrator, Nick is a young man from Minnesota who, after being educated at Yale and fighting in World War I, goes to New York City to learn the bond business. Honest, tolerant, and inclined to reserve judgment, Nick often serves as a confidant for those with troubling secrets.

Tom Buchanan

Powerfully built and hailing from a socially solid old family, Tom is an arrogant, hypocritical bully. His social attitudes are laced with racism and sexism, and he never even considers trying to live up to the moral standard he demands from those around him.

jay gatsby

Gatsby is a dreamer, constantly envisioning a better future for himself and focusing on what is possible, rather than what is practical. Like many Intuitive personalities, he often seems somewhat distracted or detached from what's happening around him.
