Question

State whether true or false:

In the sentence given below, we must put a hyphen between extremely and intelligent in order for it to make complete sense.

She is an extremely intelligent girl.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Compound adjectives are those adjectives when two or more words are joined together to form an adjective and joined with a hyphen. E.g. 6-days, old-book etc. In the given sentence, extremely and intelligent doesn't require hyphen as sentence makes sense without it. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
