The correct sentence is B) "She was a well-developed female."
To determine the correct sentence, you need to consider grammar and punctuation rules. In this case, both options use the same words, but the placement of the hyphen after "well" makes a difference.
Option A uses the adjective "well" to describe the noun "developed," but it doesn't provide a clear connection between the two words. Meanwhile, option B correctly uses a hyphen between "well" and "developed," forming a compound adjective. This means that "well-developed" functions as a single unit to describe the noun "female."
Using a hyphen in compound adjectives helps clarify the relationship between words, enhances readability, and eliminates potential confusion.
