You're welcome.
To answer the first question, you need to determine where to use hyphens in the sentence "The cake was freshly baked and was an irresistible temptation for my four-year-old cousin."
In this sentence, you should place hyphens between "four" and "year" and between "year" and "old." This is because we are using the phrase "four-year-old" as an adjective to describe the cousin.
Therefore, the correct answer for the first question is: between "four" and "year" and "year" and "old".
Now, let's move to the second question. In the sentence "The writer uses these elements well figurative language, imaginary, and setting," you need to determine the correct punctuation mark to use after the word "well."
In this case, the correct punctuation mark to use after the word "well" is a colon. A colon is used to introduce a list or an explanation.
Therefore, the correct answer for the second question is: colon.
