Which sentence is correctly hyphenated? Which sentence is correctly hyphenated? She decided to take the long-winding road.

The twentieth-century had the most tornadoes on record.



The hikers spotted a red-tailed pheasant.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The hikers spotted a red-tailed pheasant.


In this case the hyphen is necessary because it indicated that the tail is red, not the pheasant. The hyphen attaches the color red to tail. Red-tailed is a compound adjective that identify the pheasant.

A hyphen is not needed in twentieth century because it is a common phrase that readers know go together. The hyphen between tall and dark is incorrect. Tall and dark both describe the man, rather than each other. The same is true for long-winding. Long and winding describe the road. Long does not describe the winding.

Answer 2
Answer: The last one. The rest of them can either be left without the hyphen, or with a comma in place of the hyphen.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!Fears by Mary Clarence I snuck a sidelong glance at Fern. As always, she looked confident, calm, and completely prepared for what we were about to do. Up until a few years ago, you wouldn't have caught me near the ocean, let alone in a boat on it! I had always been afraid of the vastness of the ocean. Who knew what was lurking down there? Who knew what was out there waiting to drag me down to the depths? Lately, though, I'd started to realize life was too short to spend being afraid of the things I couldn't control. One by one, I had been facing my fears. With Fern's help, I had taken flying lessons to overcome my fear of heights; I had made myself get on roller coasters. And now I was facing my greatest fear—the great unknown ocean. We'd been on the boat for about an hour and were moored at a buoy. Fern and I were dive buddies, which meant that we were to check each other's equipment before we jumped in and stick close to each other in the water. We'd dived in a protected shallow pool in the sea yesterday, but this was our first dive in open water. When I realized just how dark the waves were, I felt my old fears resurfacing. Anything could be beneath them, and you wouldn't know. "Are you nervous? I kind of am," Fern said in a stage whisper while we were lining up waiting to jump in. "Yeah, a bit," I admitted. I didn't want to tell her just how nervous. What if I panicked? What if I forgot how to breathe? Was that feeling ever going to go away? I would have loved to yank it out of myself and throw it into the sea. Actually, I had a lot of confidence in our training. On this shallow beginners' dive decompression wasn't going to be a concern. I knew my equipment would protect me if I got in trouble. And I'd be surrounded by helpful instructors. But even with all the fears on my mind, a few of my brain cells kept worrying about how I looked in my wetsuit. And that's how I knew I was going to be okay. Before I could get truly nervous though, it was Fern's turn to jump into the secret-keeping waves, then mine. We swam together to a buoy line and began pulling ourselves down the rope to the sandy sea floor. I noticed immediately that despite the dark water, I could actually see quite far—and in color. Fern's mask was as vibrant as it had been on the boat. It did get a bit darker as we descended, but somehow it also got brighter—as if the sea floor were reflecting what little light there was. When everyone was down, we all moved off toward the reef. Despite my nagging fear, I was mesmerized by this strange world. Everywhere my eye fell, there was something different to see. I'd never been surrounded by so much variety in shape, color, and texture. So many amazing creatures. Fish darted in and out of waving corals. Larger fish loomed, like harmless shadows. Small translucent shrimp-like creatures approached my mask. I could tell, by their quicksilver speed, that the littlest creatures were accustomed to the approach of larger predators. When Fern waved and pointed to a silvery green eel, sliding effortlessly toward an anemone while potential prey scattered before him, I realized that fear is natural. It helped all these creatures survive from day to day. The trick is learning to know when to use it to survive, and when it's only getting in the way of living. As I reached out to tickle a neon-colored sea slug, I certainly felt as if that trick were getting easier. Read this sentence from the passage: "Before I could get truly nervous though, it was Fern's turn to jump into the secret-keeping waves, then mine." Why are the waves described as secret-keeping?A.)Fern and the narrator do not plan to share their dive with anyone.B.) The narrator cannot see what is beneath the waves.C.)Fern has been diving before and will not tell the narrator about it.D.) The narrator thinks they are frightening.

What does this excerpt from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night reveal about Duke Orsino?DUKE: If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it; that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken and so die.—
That strain again;—it had a dying fall;
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet south,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour.—Enough; no more;
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.

Answers

This excerpt from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night reveals about Duke Orsino's moodiness and unstable temperament. We can infer that - basing on the shifts of positive and negative tones of the excerpt - Duke Orsino is a very moody person.

Answer:

Orsino, the lovesick duke of Illyria, speaks these lines. He introduces the audience to the theme of love as overpowering and fickle. He calls sweet music the "food of love" and wants "an excess of it" so that he can satisfy his appetite for it. However, when the music is no longer sweet, Orsino compares it to the sea. Like the sea, it engulfs everything and debases its value to a "low price." He concludes that love can change from sweet music to an engulfing sea in a matter of one minute. He also suggests that it shifts shape at whim. The fickleness of love reflects Orsino’s own inconstant nature, casting him as self-indulgent and melodramatic. Finally, because Orsino never names the object of his love in these opening lines, the emotional outpouring indicates that Orsino is consumed more by the idea of love than by love for Olivia.

A number s is subtracted from seven. When the result is divided by three, the quotient is two. What is the number?

Answers

7-s=x
x÷3=2

First, figure out what x is. 
x÷3=2
Multiply both sides by 3
x=6

Now, plug x into 7-s=x
7-s=6
Add s to both sides
7=6+s
Subtract 6 from both sides
1=s
s=1

What is one reason that the Constitutional Convention decided they needed a document to replace the Articles of Confederation?A.Because the articles outlined an outdated tax system 
B.Because the articles did not include details about a unifying leader 
C.Because the articles did not prove the country legitimate 
D.Because the articles contained unfair laws

Answers

The reason for the replacement of Article of confederation was due to  the articles outlined an outdated tax system. Thus, option (A) is correct.

What is Article of Confederation?

The Articles of Confederation were a formal agreement between the 13 initial states of the United States of America. In 1781, the states signed a formal agreement that served as a legal symbol of their union by granting the central government no coercive authority over the states or their population.

The Articles of Confederation were the written instrument that specified the powers of the national government of the United States when it claimed independence from Great Britain.

The main weakness of the Articles of Confederation was that Congress, due to a lack of power, could not back the states in paying the war indemnity.

As a result, it may be claimed that Shays' Rebellion drew the most attention to the government's ineptitude.

Hence, option is (A) is correct.

Among these options, the right one is the A: Because the articles outlined an outdated tax system. Although the Articles of Confederation (1781) were the law of the country for eight years, they had some limitations that eventually made necessary their replacement by the current Constitution. In particular, they failed to give the central government any power to raise taxes with which to pay, for instance, the expenses of the war, the provision of social welfare, or its own daily operations. Instead, the government was forced to rely on voluntary contributions from the states. This outdated tax system led to alarming instances of total lack of funds.
