To determine whether a compound modifier should be hyphenated when it comes directly after the noun it modifies, you would need to refer to the rules of grammar and punctuation. In this case, the correct answer is A) True. When a compound modifier appears immediately after the noun it modifies, it is usually hyphenated. The hyphen helps to clarify the intended meaning and avoid confusion. For example, consider the sentence "She wore a light-blue dress." In this case, "light-blue" is a compound modifier describing the noun "dress." By using a hyphen between "light" and "blue," it becomes clear that the dress is a shade of blue rather than a dress that is both light and blue.
