Question

Consider the following excerpts from the text: • A Harvard-educated lawyer (l. 02). • Problem-solving end (l. 13). • A Game-Changing Solution (l. 15). Why are there hyphens in these three sentences?

Accepted Answer

D) Because they are two-word adjectives (or nouns and participles working as adjectives) united by the hyphen to describe the same object.

Answer

A) It’s a common use of the hyphen to connect different parts of the speech as one noun.

Answer

B) Because compound nouns require hyphens.

Answer

C) Whenever there is a word combination with a gerund or infinitive form, the hyphen is mandatory.

Answer

E) The hyphen is optional in the three sentences, and it was used to preserve a more formal writing style.
