The correct answer is D. There is no way to tell if he is less-qualified

Explanation:

The hyphen (-) is a sign and punctuation mark mainly used to join words and combine the meaning of both in a sentence. Like commas, semicolons or other punctuation marks hyphen follow strict grammar rules that include using hyphen to make a compound adjective just if the adjective is  placed before the word it qualifies; using hyphen in compound words; using hyphens in compound adjectives that include numbers or fractions; using hyphens with prefixes such as "self-", "all-" or "ex-". Considering this, in the case of the sentence "There is no way to tell if he is less-qualified" the use of the hyphen is incorrect as the compound adjective "less-qualified" is placed after the word it describes "he" which means in this case the hyphen is not required as hyphens should only be used if the adjective is placed before the word it describes or qualifies. Thus, the sentence that uses the hyphen incorrectly is D. "There is no way to tell if he is less-qualified".

Kitty [74]

Answer:

  • Roosevelt appeals to the emotions of the audience by referring to Hitler’s rise to power and the tragic consequences of his government.
  • Roosevelt appeals to the logic of the audience by noting that the interests of the people are not considered in a one-party government.
  • Roosevelt appeals to the logic of the audience by explaining reasons why the amendment would allow the Soviets to ignore a human right.

In this excerpt, Eleanor Roosevelt explains why a compromise on human rights issues is often equivalent to nullifying the protection. She does this by first describing an issue in which compromising (with the Soviets) would eliminate the protection of the right. She also appeals to the logic of the listeners when she explains that in one-party systems, the rights of citizens are often ignored. Finally, she emphasizes this fact by reminding the reader of Hitler's regime and its consequences.
