To determine the best answer to this question, you can break down each response and analyze its accuracy.
1. "It is always hyphenated." - While compound adjectives are often hyphenated, it is not a defining feature. Hyphenation is a style choice that depends on the specific usage and context.
2. "It consists of more than one word." - This is the correct answer. Compound adjectives are formed by combining two or more words to modify a noun. For example, "blue-eyed," "high-pitched," and "well-developed" are all compound adjectives.
3. "It is used to replace a noun." - This statement is incorrect. Adjectives modify nouns, rather than replacing them.
4. "It is usually a made-up word." - This statement is also incorrect. Compound adjectives are formed by combining existing words, rather than creating new ones.
In summary, the defining feature of a compound adjective is that it consists of more than one word.
