Which of the following is not a correct use of the hyphen? Answers

a. between some prefixes and roots eg. re-lease

b. some compounds eg. governor-elect

c. with compound numbers between 21 and 29

d. with dialogue eg. She said - It was great!

e. with some modifiers eg. high-grade ore

c

Explanation:

I think c but not really sure

The answer here is A!

Explanation:

A. is incorrect. This simply does not exist. You don't put hyphens in between prefixes and roots. For the others though, you do say governor-elect, 21-29, She said—It was great!, and high-grade/high-quality

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.

i believe the answer is: b. mr. head had a long, tube-like face with a rounded open jaw and a short depressed nose.

this is because in the un-revised sentence it said that mr. heads face was long and tube-like, and he had a rounded open jaw. this is not a very grammatically correct because of how it seems to drag on with the and, replaced with, with, makes it sound more fluent in the description.
