Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) When a compound adjective comes before the noun it modifies, it should be hyphenated as in long-term relationship. When the phrase comes after the noun, it should not be hyphenated: The relationship was long term.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Here is an example of a comma separating a dependent clause from the main clause of a sentence: Although we were late, the game was still going on. The dependent clause, Although we were late, cannot stand on its own as an independent sentence. The main clause, the game was still going on, can stand on its own, so it is an independent sentence. The comma separates the two clauses and forms a complete sentence.
