Answer 1

The sentence that correctly uses a hyphen is 'DaVinci was quite-obsessed with flying and even though his man powered flying machine never went airborne, his hang glider did.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that correctly uses a hyphen is: DaVinci was quite-obsessed with flying and even though his man powered flying machine never went airborne, his hang glider did.

A hyphen is used in the compound adjective 'quite-obsessed' to connect the two words and create a single idea. It helps to clarify the meaning and avoid confusion.

In contrast, the other two options use regular dashes instead of hyphens. Dashes are longer and used for separate ideas or to indicate a break in the sentence.

Answer 2

Answer: The first sentence, "Leonardo DaVinci was a world-famous polymath, who is a person with many different talents."

Step-by-step explanation:

The first sentence is correct because "world-famous" consists of a noun and an adjective, needing a hyphen.
