Question

Jacob wrote this passage using hyphens and dashes What is the best suggestion for how he should revise this draft?
The tum-of-the-century architect had designed hundreds of buildings around the metropolitan Dallas area—which surprised many of his contemporaries,
since he had received no academic-training in architecture or engineering
O Add a second dash after contemporaries to complete the pairing of dashes
O Remove the hyphens from turn-of-the-century
O Add an en-dash after hundreds to indicate the number of buildings
O Remove the hyphen from academic-training

Answer 1

The best suggestion that Jacob should use in revising his draft is;

• D.  Remove the hyphen from academic-training

The hyphen is a sign used to pair words in a sentence to indicate that they have a joint meaning.

Jacob correctly used the hyphen in the sentence where he paired the words, turn-of-the-century. This indicates that the four words have a singular meaning.

But when Jacob used the hyphen in joining the words academic and training, he was incorrect because these words have their unique meanings in the sentence.

So, to correct this mistake, Jacob should remove the hyphen that connected the two words.
