Question

Which of the following sentences contains correct punctuation? A. She earned thirty two dollars last week. B. He is five-foot-nine-inches tall. C. Seventy-percent of rats love swiss cheese. D. The twenty-five-page report was a lot of work.

Answer 1

Answer: The sentence that contains correct punctuation is D. The twenty-five-page report was a lot of work.

In sentence A, there should be no space between the number "thirty" and the word "two". It should be written as "thirty-two".

In sentence B, the hyphens should be used to connect the words "five", "foot", "nine", and "inches" to form a compound adjective. It should be written as "He is five-foot-nine-inches tall".

In sentence C, the hyphen should be used to connect the words "seventy" and "percent" to form a compound adjective. It should be written as "Seventy percent of rats love Swiss cheese".
