Question
Choose the correct sentence with proper hyphen mark from each of the following:
- What a cute-little-girl she has!
- What a cute little girl she has!
- What a cute-little girl she has!
- What a cute little-bird she has!
Hint:
Generally, you need the hyphen only if the two or more words are functioning together as an adjective before the noun they’re describing. If the noun comes first, leave the hyphen out.
The correct answer is: What a cute little-bird she has!
From the given options, the words "cute" and "little" function as adjectives for the noun "girl", but they do not function together - hence no hyphen is required. Thus the correct answer is option b.
