2. Which of the following is a correctly written compound word?
A. Quickly-running
B. Thirty one
[C. Self-evident]
D. Spur of the moment-decision
is my answer correct
Right.
Yes, your answer is correct. The correctly written compound word in the given options is "Self-evident" (Option C).
To determine this, we need to understand what a compound word is. A compound word is made up of two or more words that come together to create a new word with its own meaning. Compound words can be written either with a hyphen, without a space, or as two separate words.
In the given options:
A. "Quickly-running" is not a correctly written compound word because it combines an adverb ("Quickly") with a verb in the present participle form ("running") without any hyphen or space separating them.
B. "Thirty one" is not a compound word because it is just a combination of two separate words, "thirty" and "one."
C. "Self-evident" is a correctly written compound word because it combines the adjective "self" with the adjective "evident" using a hyphen to create a new word with its own distinct meaning.
D. "Spur of the moment-decision" is not a correctly written compound word because it is a combination of several words that are not properly joined together.
Therefore, option C, "Self-evident," is the correct answer as it follows the proper formatting of a compound word.
