Re: Important information about the Senior Carnival


Please be advised that our Twenty First Annual Senior Carnival will be held on May 7, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. Seniors are welcome to attend this event with their families. Entry admission for students will be free, but family members will be required to pay a minimal fee. The cafeteria staff will provide funnel cakes and hot dogs, as well as gluten free cookies. Additionally, our very own physics teacher, Dr. Renault, will perform karaoke songs at the carnival. The first thirty five seniors who arrive at the carnival will receive gift bags with t shirts, books, and backpacks.

We look forward to seeing you on May 7th!

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Any number between 21 (twenty one) and 99 (ninety nine) that is being compounded must be hyphenated.

2. "T-shirt" or "Tee-shirt" should always be hyphenated.
